I spent 10 years being a Chinese gusano in the US. In fact if I end up getting walled after the Revolution I really shouldn’t complain too much.
To share a bit more, growing up gay in urban China was quite fine (literally never experienced open hatred or even micro aggression there), except I was made to think I had no future there (“future” = marriage aka suburban lifestyle) and my only future was assimilating to the US-led progressive liberal world order. Ergo I became a Chinese gusano.

Just curious if you have anything else to say about your experience. No worries if it's not something you wish to share more about.
