Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"?

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”.

Oh yeah no fair enough, thanks for hearing me out. Those kinds people are exhausting
