Where are "people" (Conservatives) getting this idea from? Governments do not have total information of the production of all goods produced in the world. How hard is it to understand they just look at the shipping location of items and their classified category?

As a proud trans woman and refugee living in a camp after fleeing Uganda’s anti-LGBTQ+ law, I read this with tears in my eyes. I’m fighting daily against hunger, stigma, and silence. I share my story to raise awareness, and I’d be so grateful if anyone took a moment to listen, Just being seen means the world to us.
