Race is a social construct
Gender is a social construct
Both have biological *components* but are incredibly complex - not neat, discrete, immutable categories

So the official position of the white supremacist government is, unsurprisingly, that “race is a biological reality.”
Apparently, not believing this is “insane.”
Important to note that for fascists, ALL the identity categories (race, sex, etc.) have to be “real” and frozen so they can manage them
