could it be that perhaps... white women aren't actually oppressed? like i literally have never seen a black woman complain about "women's biological rights", i'm assuming that's cuz they at least have some kind of basic grasp on the concept of solidarity right?

You're getting ahead of yourself if you think there's no transphobia in the Black or Latino communities.
This sounds like a very white person post tbh
yeah the black community is hella transphobic and one feature of our transphobia (that isnt unique to us, but that i think is different than white terf-ness) is that it specifically intersects with colorism
i mean yeah i'm pretty white, mostly due to the fact that like every school i've gone to besides my university has been like de-facto segregated. this is coming from like my limited experience with interacting with people of color, mostly online, and like tbh i haven't really seen too many like terfy poc. i wouldn't doubt that theres certainly some people in those communities who are transphobic, but in more of a reactionary sense rather than the classic british feminist terfy way
Yeah, that's kind of what I figured. The Black community is just as diverse as any other.
And a tip: doing "blacks rule" is not a sufficient replacement for actually interacting with POC. I've been there. How old are you?
I'm not doing blacks rule, i was pointing out how weird it was that i've never seen poc online doing terf shit. like saying "oh wow i think these people are doing the bare minimum by not being transphobes," isn't "blacks rule" im saying "wow good for them for doing the bare fucking minimum". probably seen a couple of like actually transphobic posts but i probably just liked some tweets dunking on them and moved on. and let's just say i'm still coming to terms with the fact that i'm supposed to be an adult now lmao
Black people tend to hang out in slightly different places online.
yeah ik thats why i said in my limited experience with black people lol
i have encountered my fair share of poc terfs unfortunately
although as a black woman i support any take downs of white feminism
Asian TERFS exist. Asian-American internet is goddamn awful and lib as hell and quite frankly, really annoying. You have straight Asian males complaining about 'their' women being taken over by whites, and straight Asian women defending themselves and that dominates the internet. AA internet is oriented towards American bourgeois values, if you aren't a straight East Asian or Indian tech worker/STEM student who loves boba, k-pop, anime, and raves while you absorb model minority stereotypes you don't exist to them.
Like come on dude, just go to a fucking boba shop and you will find tons of Asian women who will only date Asian dudes, go to a dating site where tons of Asian women will dog whistle that they do not like white guys. Get over it and read some goddamn feminism. Talk about homelessness, health issues, class issues, and LGBTQ issues in our communities.
There are a quite a few leftist AA internet folks, but they have to walk a fine line within their communities because being a leftist brings a lot of baggage even to those older immigrants who agree with things like self-determination.
Also, fuck you and your family's egg monopoly and whatever similar stories your parents told to you about the old land.\
Edit: And the biggest reason you don't see POC TERFS is that TERFS in general are very good with optics. They will dogwhistle that they are TERFS, just look at how their discourse orients with liberal values. If you're a POC TERF, it's especially bad optics to be a TERF in the open. They'll just talk about girlboss energy and harry potter, that's usually a sign they're a TERF.
