Edit for context:

My view is transracial isn’t valid and this person is trying to dogwhistle. I’ve already blocked this person, and now they’re going after my friend saying my friend is transphobic because they disagreed with them about transracial being a thing (they’re purposefully leaving the context out so my friend looks transphobic when what my friend really said was transgender is valid but transracial isn’t)

    so I never said it’s a biological reality, just that it’s real because white supremacy is real. seems like we agree

      I agree, it feels like we’ve been arguing over semantics. When I (and I’m assuming the person you originally responded to) say “real”, I don’t mean to claim that it doesn’t have material effects, I mean that it has no biological basis - i.e. it is socially constructed.

        yes thanks for elaborating. the reason why I got defensive is because most of the time when I argue with other white people, they abuse the socially constructed race theory to make me concede that racism doesn’t exist or that whites can experience “reverse racism”.
