It's kind of depressing that lgbt spaces here are empty because there's been no attempts to reach out/ reconcile with the existing trans community in chapo or any of their concerns, but there's a big ol post on main weaponizing lgbt identity against china which actually recently took a great stride in providing legal protection for trans comrades seeking medical transition. And with a prominent post in this very community being a cis person questioning the need of affirming pronouns for comrades across the gender spectrum. It's more than ok to pose these questions but it raises the issue of what the priority is in affirmatively making sure there is a space here in chapo for our queer comrades to have a home, vs being a home for cis comrades to affirm their own perceived tolerance.

    I’m not caught up on it.

    Well that's one of the bigger points of contention, the lack of transparency in a lot of the decisions that are being made. Along with the fact that those decisions seem to be working against creating an affirmatively positive space for the trans comrades to participate in. Confirmed by the fact that trans comrades are in fact not participating in this space.

      I’m trans and I’m participating right now, except apparently one of my posts you say is supposedly weaponization of my own identity (lol) and imperialist propaganda

      Maybe that is a reason other trans people aren’t participating. Because any question about where we stand and where our rights stand is not permitted by some of you.
