Sounds like a contradiction in terms where 'reality' is a truth value, but meaning is a sticky business at the best of times. (Yes I know you claim it is inherently empty teehee, which by definition, ironically, isn't true - BooM).

Once one has identified through introspection this factor of mind which subjectively projects truth onto where objectively no truth can be found one grasps what it means when it is said that "all phenomena are empty of inherent existence and thus empty of truth".
Now that what I have expressed, is that true? No, since no truth can be found in the object of mind expressed although when not being able to perceive its emptiness this factor of mind may again project truth onto this object so that it may appear as 'false truth' so to say. What I have expressed is an experience based on rational analysis and corresponding analytical meditation ... believe it or not

Very Cartesian in its form.
