"I have black friends" doesn't make someone not a racist either. Nor does reframing it as "race realism".

I'm not sure how this relates. I don't agree with them.

I'm aware? I'm just saying. The same way we don't let racists define themselves as intellectuals via terms like "race realist" we also shouldn't do the same for anti trans. I'm making an argument as to why you shouldn't say gender critical?

Yes, OK, and I have said why I don't think it's an intellectual term & why I think it's more accurate than anti-trans. We'll have to agree to disagree.
