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.

      Aside from the intermittent brigading we still seem to be having, I haven’t seen much in the way of blatant ill will towards lgbt comrades though?

      A good amount of what has been described as brigading has been trans comrades trying to provide their point of view on the current circumstances. While some of them have started lashing out because they feel like they are actively being silenced.
