@starhonker is spot on, the best thing you can do is figure out your threat model and operate from there. I’ve watched a lot of people experience scope creep constantly wondering if its “enough” as they dive deeper and deeper. As far as anything state sponsored you are SOL imo not worth trying.

welcome friends!
so much custard 👀
2·3 years agoYES!!! this is exactly the type of data I was looking for ty!!
4·3 years agoI wish there was a simple answer on this front, most of my research is based on trans needs and concerning that matter I would say China is working towards those needs. They have a long way to go and hopefully can take some inspo from the GDR and cuba. There was a pretty good discussion on the matter here
First I wanted to thank everyone for contributing to this discussion, rather then reply to several comments individually I figure it might be a better idea to address the most common ones in one post.
1.) Referencing gay or bi people in China as an example when talking about trans acceptance.
Gender identity vs sexual orientation are very different groups with there own needs, using the latter or the former to discuss needs of the former or latter is a grave misunderstanding of those needs and the people involved.
2.) The use of the initialism LGBTQ by Chinese media and in some of the responses to this thread
The initialism is very much historically a western invention, activists started using the initialism “LGBT” in 1988 [1] followed by general acceptance in 1990 [2]. Despite china having vastly different culture as pointed out by some of you in this thread they have also chosen to use western initialism [3].
3.) America and the west is no shining beacon of trans rights or acceptance, in most cases china’s transgender population face no legal discrimination in comparison.
With over 80 anti trans bills passed into law and over 500 bills currently in session leading to the criminalizing of trans people in the US [4]. In conjunction with the messaging from the far right reactionary republican party in America calling for the eradication of trans people [5]. In contrast to the west China has very little anti trans laws, however adding common M2F HRT to the restricted drugs list is just another road block for trans people in china.
4.) Trans people in China the cultural differences and the struggle for global trans liberation.
A majority of trans people in China do not have the support of family, friends and society often leading to violence towards them from their own family (even though these attitudes are slowly changing) [3]. As well as alienation from uprooting there entire lives to move to bigger and more accepting cities. I really would like to stress the importance of the acceptance of your friends, family and society when your trans as its been tied to high rates of attempted suicide time and time again [6]. Easy/legal access to HRT in China is extremely difficult and as of 2022 online access to MTF HRT in particular is illegal [3] [7] [8].
I urge everyone of you to thoroughly examine the dangers of ignoring the material conditions that shape trans people’s lives regardless of the customs/cultural differences.

I’m not sure why but the first link wont open, I did watch “a day of trans” and the CGTN doc you linked and gained additional insight, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for sharing, I was looking for this doc but kept running into dead links.
Hopefully in the future they will take some inspo from cuba regarding LGBTQ rights, thanks for the info!
Do you feel as if this comment adds anything meaningful to the discussion? All I can gather is you view china as totalitarian.
(edit: i guess there comment was deleted lol)
I could def see that, primordial ooze breeding toxic waste 🙄
yes x1000, same shit as vash
idk, personally when I use to shave everything id have one for my bottom parts and another for the rest.
this one #welcome:genzedong.xyz, when I search per the instructions it drops me into welcome, not aware of any other rooms.
is this matrix room dead/abandoned? No activity and “You do not have permission to post to this room”
I can’t speak to lgb part but as far as trans and queer rights not that great, they have a long way to go. Now is it to the point where “Trans and queer people and their supporters suffer ‘systemic persecution’” for the most part no. However its not easy to get access to estradiol as you need the permission of your closest relatives to start HRT and as of recent they have made it illegal to order online.
There was a discussion about this here
I’d also like to address some of the comments here, as a trans person fighting for trans liberation watching ppl try and disregard the material conditions of trans people for whatever reason, get fucked and stop claiming being trans, gay, bisexual etc is some American concept. We have existed throughout history in every culture and we will continue to regardless of politics, borders, etc.
I took a break from this site because I was getting tired of the fucking mental gymnastics some of ya’ll do to defend china when it comes to lack of trans rights or issues. No country is perfect when it comes to trans rights does not mean we shouldn’t critique any country in a quest to defend our humanity and access to healthcare. Stop abandoning your comrades because liberals have cooped parts of our movement, ask a LGBTQ person how we can fight imperialism and support our LGBTQ comrades at the same time (they are not mutually exclusive)
