Why is it that liberals only source is wikipedia??? Please read other things.
China is expanding clinics for trans people. Notably for trans children, who it built its first clinic for in 2021 and has built a further 8 since.
This alone makes them incomparable to the UK, where the children’s clinics have been institutionally attacked and set back for the last 5 to 10 years. There is an enormous difference between a state actively stepping up their transgender healthcare accessibility vs a state rolling it back.
People claiming China is much better on this than the US and the UK are wrong
Says the person whose entire fucking understanding of the matter was gained from wikipedia 5 seconds before making this comment. Jesus fucking christ.
The UK in particular, most of the transphobia I experience is from institutions and media rather than “on the ground” (though this def. happens too), and the way the government is going with using us as a scapegoat is very concerning. But the - for now - lower amount of control over communications means I got started on DIY HRT pretty simply and pushed my way through the “official” system.
I want you to read this then try to imagine it being written by the terfs destroying our lives at the BBC or Guardian.

China is doing us right. Our countries are not.
but fuck me if the dems aren’t spineless at opposing this stuff or (as can be seen in the op) sometimes support this.
They’re not spineless you naive idiot. They see us as a tool, they don’t give a fuck about us other than for pretending they’re good and wielding as an electoral weapon to say “look trans people will die if you don’t vote for us”. Actually helping us would mean they need to find something else, so they don’t.
false idea that China is communist
China is a socialist state building towards communism. Your inability to understand this is a personal failure to understand it, not a failure of theirs.
Aight I stopped reading right here.
If you don’t think my response was in good faith, I won’t participate. Eat my ass. Don’t waste my fucking time.
You’re a white nationalist, just like the other user. Which completely explains your desire to defend white western countries. You don’t realise it but these are unexamined brainworms that you should absolutely do self-crit over. This emotional reaction you have to leap to the defence of the west and attack any claim that somewhere outside of it is better is at its source white western nationalism. And yes it makes you a lib, especially when it one country is demonstrably committing genocide against us while the other is not yet you still leap to its defence and to attack the other.
