"The Beijing No 2 Intermediate People’s Court went on to state that “social tolerance is a blessing of the rule of law” and highlighted the need to “respect diverse ways of living and protect the dignity of transgender people.”"

    This why i hate disingenuous libs who say "socialist states hate LGBTQ people". yea USSR wasn't very queer friendly but they industrialized in like 1930s and died before a gay revolution ussr-cry . Look at Cuba for instance.

    China will only progress in terms of LGBTQ rights while U.S. regresses.

    BASED on what?!

    Nobody ever tells me...

    Okay, but in all seriousness, this is great news and my WeChat friends say that society in general is trending in this direction a lot, especilally in the last 5 years or so.

    it's nice to see a country where 'rule of law' has meaning and gets used to protect actual people

    it's also nice that china is moving in the right direction, you love to see it
