I have only ever stated that "all reality is socially constructed,"
which means (and has meant every time I've said it) that the only way
we can understand reality is through the meaning we place on it.

Then you've said it extraordinarily badly, because "all reality is
socially constructed" does not mean that.

I see your point. I was repeating words outside the context where I typically use them. Usually, when I say "all reality is socially constructed" it is understood that that means "our understanding of reality is socially constructed." Definitely poor word choices in this context.
