Exactly. Genocided
It's not great. There aren't any discriminatory laws but getting medical affirming care can be a big hurdle due to lack of providers and strict requirements (I believe parents have to support, show proof of dysphoria/transgender identity)
Trans people are getting more positive attention in mainstream media and social media so definitely fast improvement just like in the West. They're also just people being famous for what they do and happen to be trans instead of being a token for their trans identity which is really nice as opposed to most of the diverse representation we have in the West
No significant hate crimes and trans people have won court cases for discrimination against their gender identity
here is a summary post about my understanding of trans issues in china after extensive research over the past 3-5ish years.

This would be great as its own post tbh
i might do a psa at some point, i want to get some conglomerated sources like books and stuff, not just a bunch of users and guides on baidu and weibo
Huh. I see they had freely available hormone drugs for anyone who wanted them until recently, but then they banned them entirely. It seems like overall it's much less politicized and stigmatized by the government tho
Yea, not really targeted though and just in a wave of controlling substances that were sold by anybody to anybody so a big positive for trans people if they can increase availability of prescribed HRT
yeah that's more of a blow to the trans people abroad with no access to prescribed HRT, unfortunately caught in the crossfire
