On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back

    two things can do bad, you don’t need to defend China or the Soviet Union when they do oppression

      thats the thing though, is it oppression if they have no clue about you or what being trans even is? is it oppression by that country if other countries, which have expertise, arent providing aid and training for doctors on handling trans patients? i could see it as being a different aspect of life but i wouldnt feel comfortable comparing it to life in america, which is like living in hell because we are the preeminent culture war issue

      and for the record, china does have trans healthcare in larger cities like shanghai and beijing, but there is a staffing issue, not enough docs with trans training which is again an issue of lack of awareness

        homosexuals were persecuted, yes that’s oppression

        If you are a Communist, you don’t need to defend every aspect of every Communist state (yeah oxymoron, w/e), it’s okay to say “they did some things wrong”

          im talking about trans issues right now because ive personally talked to other trans people there. from what i understand in asia generally trans people have it slightly better socially than gay people for a variety of reasons

              yeah im most impressed with what cuba is doing lately. im gonna recontact the cubans i talked to in a year or so to see what the limits there are to the lgbt legislation there. they basically granted every major demand the LGBT community put forward there, legally speaking. but i wonder most about enforcement, and i also wonder if there will be new unforeseen issues that arise or that most lgbt communities havent considered now that all the demands are met.
