On stuff outside of lemmygrad, we are receiving a lot of hate, especially by those who just moved from Reddit. Guess they lost their hidden privilege at Reddit as their rhetoric used to be almost universal over there, while genzedong and our other subs get censored and banned. And now, on lemmy, their stuff isn’t universal, as we are more prevalent here. Seems like they really want that hidden privilege back

Are you are defending, excusing, or justifying the persecution of LGBT people?

    If you aren't defending, excusing, or justifying the oppression of people by the USSR or PRC, then I'm not talking about you; you were not the type of person which "tankie" is typically used to describe

    youre pretty fucking weird. being trans sucks everywhere right now, almost equally except for in certain areas like florida where theyre doing genocide. at least in china they dont have a media circus shitting on us 24/7, and theyre not doing genocide like florida, so its quite a bit better than the USA. the USSR pioneered many trans surgeries for trans men in, iirc, Latvia, actually.

    cuba is probably the best place for trans people in the world right now though, which again isnt saying much. the issue with cuba is they dont have enough docs for trans affirming care, though based on the cuban trans people ive talked to that is being resolved. trans healthcare is free there and with the new constitution, by law cuba has the best protections for LGBT people in the world.

    youre just misinformed about, well, everything, really, and never talked with LGBT people in other countries.

    two things can do bad, you don't need to defend China or the Soviet Union when they do oppression

    thats the thing though, is it oppression if they have no clue about you or what being trans even is? is it oppression by that country if other countries, which have expertise, arent providing aid and training for doctors on handling trans patients? i could see it as being a different aspect of life but i wouldnt feel comfortable comparing it to life in america, which is like living in hell because we are the preeminent culture war issue

    and for the record, china does have trans healthcare in larger cities like shanghai and beijing, but there is a staffing issue, not enough docs with trans training which is again an issue of lack of awareness

    homosexuals were persecuted, yes that's oppression

    If you are a Communist, you don't need to defend every aspect of every Communist state (yeah oxymoron, w/e), it's okay to say "they did some things wrong"

    im talking about trans issues right now because ive personally talked to other trans people there. from what i understand in asia generally trans people have it slightly better socially than gay people for a variety of reasons

    yeah im most impressed with what cuba is doing lately. im gonna recontact the cubans i talked to in a year or so to see what the limits there are to the lgbt legislation there. they basically granted every major demand the LGBT community put forward there, legally speaking. but i wonder most about enforcement, and i also wonder if there will be new unforeseen issues that arise or that most lgbt communities havent considered now that all the demands are met.
