I really don’t know how to fix it or even talk about it.

You can start by pointing out that 50% of the countries that outlaw homosexuality have these laws on their book due to the British empire. There's also plenty of historical examples of pre-colonized societies all over the world recognizing more than two genders, and of being much more permissive of non-heterosexual behavior. This absolutely terrified colonizers, they brutally eradicated it all over the world and replaced it with their cishetnormative garbage. Queerphobia in the Global South is not only a Western export, it is also still zealously propped up by colonizer religions and by reactionary forces from the West (or Western allies like Saudi Arabia or Qatar) until this day.

Also, the idea that ANY Western nation is substantially pro-LGBT is laughable, idiotic nonsense that only cishets in their ignorant privilege can believe in and that serves to pinkwash governments that treat me as a third class citizen until this day. The trans exterminatory governments of the West are paying mere lip service to our rights, are giving out cost-neutral hand me downs to the LGBT community and do none of that out of the goodwill of their rotten, foul capitalist hearts, but show even this lukewarm display of performative tolerance only after literal decades of grassroots activism from queer people who had to do all the groundwork in re-normalizing our very existence and campaigned endlessly for our rights, fought in the streets against queerbashing cops and endured endless legal battles in the courts to ensure our right to live as ourselves is respected at least most of the time. LGBT acceptance is OUR work and OUR success alone and i want to piss in the face of every liberal cishet hypocrit who thinks i owe them anything. It's not a western value to treat me with dignity, that's something my community has fought tooth and nail for AGAINST the West and still has to fight for AGAINST the West and its awful, genocidal terror values.
