    Doesn't China have free publicly funded gender affirmation clinics? Or like at least one opened recently?

      They do, the comment is ridiculous. However this person is clearly not invested in what's good for trans people because they immediately misgendered me in their reply

        more and more I feel like people who are both transphobic, and also project that on China are really telling on themselves about what they would do if they were in power. It always feels like "you're lucky our FREEDOM LOVING government lets DEG*NERATES like you exist!" It's almost more terrifying than the typical right wing blue hair enby boogieman memes.

          I feel like there's a lot of people along for the ride when it comes to these narratives- like people who will seriously believe some military guy that spent the last two decades airstriking muslim weddings when he says with a straight face that he's really concerned about the freedom of east Turkistan

          It really is just barely beneath the surface in the more lib instances. But then rather than deal with it they just play telephone to make it about how we're actually the problem
