I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, r*****, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.

downplaying the tangible improvement to the quality of life of trans people is patently transphobia.

In this case, I think it's being a bad supporter of trans liberation because it undermines understanding of how conditions can improve, but ideologically I think this is more Islamophobia than anything in this specific case.

There are issues with China's system, mostly having to do with you "having a home" legally but it's a place where it isn't viable to live (e.g. due to abuse or you're seeking a job elsewhere). I think that "shuffling the homeless off" by giving them fucking homes is not the own on China that they think it is.
