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 don't think it's unreasonable to ask the person who just brought up that concern to talk to me or Jess, unless you're saying that there's a level of coordination to where it won't matter who I talk to

      except you didn't even ask me. who brought up the greater concern in the first place. All the trans comrades are in the shork server, and I know you know that. No reason to play ignorant.

        this has all happened in less than hour, I dunno how fair it is to act like I didn't care to ask you when it was a case of me seeing a comment first and replying to that, I was trying to sort out other conversations and as far as the shork server goes, I have talked to people who have came from their about how difficult it is for me to split focus in a conversation with a group that big, a fact which was also disrespected and not communicated to members of your community.
