Such a limp try. You've overplayed your hand in so many areas, you're a tactical imbecile. Can't believe I have to say this, but if you attack the biological identity of *all people*, framing the backlash as rightwing only highlights how disingenuous you are. Keep going!

Biological essentialism is by its very nature reactionary/right-wing, and any honest and effective leftism, feminism, antiracism, etc. must be opposed to it

Nonsense. Dialectic and historical materialism is a core tenet of socialism & accepting that which is contrary to observable material reality is not left wing, it's intellectually dishonest & lends power to the ruling class to redefine reality as they wish.

Socialism rests on the premise that the class distinctions between human beings are created by human social and economic structures and can be overturned If this were not the case, there would be no socialist project

A belief in biologically essential categories is, by its very nature, antithetical to socialism It was, historically, the direct rebuttal to leftist views by 19th-century conservatives -- a belief that the upper and lower classes were of "different breeding"

There is no form of truly liberatory politics that can proceed from the assumption that biological categories are "real and immutable" "Race realism" is also just putting an extra syllable into "racism"

The fact you keep bringing race into it shows your desperation to tie feminists to racism which just shows the weakness of your argument. Acknowledging race as an axis of oppression is NOT race realism, which uses race to justify racism. Dishonest.

Allowing for a "biological definition of race" and declaring race to be an immutable essential category IS racism, though

So you *are* saying white people can be black if they feel black then? I'm afraid you've gone too far down the rabbit hole for me pal. Muting this nonsense now.

I'm saying that if the US government told me that they'd created a biological definition of "Asian ancestry" they'd worked out with the 23andMe people and they wanted me to get tested so they could put my race in my official records I'd immediately look into emigrating
