She is the one at risk of suicide not them.

Transphobes are always making it about themselves with their histrionics.

Not really - face and outward appearance to the group is ridiculously important in Asian cultures.

The point that we should all be angry with is that the parents (and there social group) viewed transgender as something so inherently bad that the shame warrants suicide.

Fuck the transphobes.

not just trauma but also heart problems that require medication...

incredibly fucked up but the hospital getting a slap on the wrist is a good first step at least.

This is not the right way to put it. She won 60,000 CNY, not 8,000 USD. A "low-wage" worker at a fast food restaurant or a coffee shop in the city earns 20-30 CNY per hour.

This is a pretty substantial payout by Chinese standards. At the same time, China doesn't recognise "punitive" damages or "emotional damages" as a thing. The response to the notion of "punitive damages" is "don't you mean a fine?", and that to "emotional damages" is that "there is no such thing, you can just get over it".

I guess they don't have a hippocratic oath over there.

Yeahhhh... a payout of 8k for essentially being tortured is not a win.

this is an achievement BECAUSE it's China, how tf is this a w

This seems outrageous for the US, but with universal health care, the cost of living in China and the legal difficulties to get a payout in medical malpractice. This is a significant win for that woman and their legal system.
