Yeah because you’re from hexbear and I don’t trust you to engage in good faith

Aight I stopped reading right here.

If you don’t think my response was in good faith, I won’t participate. Eat my ass. Don’t waste my fucking time.

You’re a white nationalist, just like the other user. Which completely explains your desire to defend white western countries. You don’t realise it but these are unexamined brainworms that you should absolutely do self-crit over. This emotional reaction you have to leap to the defence of the west and attack any claim that somewhere outside of it is better is at its source white western nationalism. And yes it makes you a lib, especially when it one country is demonstrably committing genocide against us while the other is not yet you still leap to its defence and to attack the other.

Why is it that liberals only source is wikipedia??? Please read other things.

China is expanding clinics for trans people. Notably for trans children, who it built its first clinic for in 2021 and has built a further 8 since.

This alone makes them incomparable to the UK, where the children’s clinics have been institutionally attacked and set back for the last 5 to 10 years. There is an enormous difference between a state actively stepping up their transgender healthcare accessibility vs a state rolling it back.

People claiming China is much better on this than the US and the UK are wrong

Says the person whose entire fucking understanding of the matter was gained from wikipedia 5 seconds before making this comment. Jesus fucking christ.

The UK in particular, most of the transphobia I experience is from institutions and media rather than “on the ground” (though this def. happens too), and the way the government is going with using us as a scapegoat is very concerning. But the - for now - lower amount of control over communications means I got started on DIY HRT pretty simply and pushed my way through the “official” system.

I want you to read this then try to imagine it being written by the terfs destroying our lives at the BBC or Guardian.

China is doing us right. Our countries are not.

but fuck me if the dems aren’t spineless at opposing this stuff or (as can be seen in the op) sometimes support this.

They’re not spineless you naive idiot. They see us as a tool, they don’t give a fuck about us other than for pretending they’re good and wielding as an electoral weapon to say “look trans people will die if you don’t vote for us”. Actually helping us would mean they need to find something else, so they don’t.

false idea that China is communist

China is a socialist state building towards communism. Your inability to understand this is a personal failure to understand it, not a failure of theirs.

Hexbear smoothbrains are happy that daddy Putin murdered a political rival.

This nonsense is like screaming that Charles Dickens writes books about scifi robots in space. It just demonstrates that you’ve completely failed to do even the most basic level of effort to understand what the actual beliefs of anyone on Hexbear are. You just completely make up your own reality based on some cartoon you have in your head.

Like seriously, go and talk to people first before stating such wrong things so matter of factly.

Denazification is going well.

Yes there is. And yes you can. The only people that say this absurd fucking bullshit are literally nazis who don’t want to be targeted.

“Hurr hurr you have to block lgbt with the fascists or you have to accept them both” is a fucking stupid thing to say and you should be ashamed of yourself and the general state of your life leading you to say this stupid shit.

censoring

The point isn’t about censorship which for the record here was performed by Disney for the sake of more profit. Not by the state.

their internet

Nothing about this comment string was about the internet. This is a non-sequitur.

you’re a trans person who lives in the UK, BBC doesn’t have trans personalities, and certain US politicians are attacking trans rights? Wow, what an argument.

The point here is that it is demonstrably obvious to trans people living in the US and UK that China is better to us than the US and the UK, one of which is currently performing a genocide against us and the other of which is transphobic on a near daily basis and is expected by the community here to follow in the US’ footsteps if it gets the chance.

Also I’m racist for pointing out authoritarianism from an authoritarian government?

You didn’t say a damn thing about that. You dismissed an argument about China being better about trans people than multiple major western governments. I gave concrete examples of why that is, and only now are you bringing out “muh authoritarianism”, which frankly I don’t give a shit about compared to the ongoing real genocide of trans people the US is doing.

It is painful talking to you morons when you can’t even remember what you fucking said, or be bothered to go back and check it. But yes I am calling you a racist because you clearly have different standards for white countries than you do for non-white ones.

What don’t you understand about it? How has it ever affected you? Can you name a single time it has?

China does not care unless you live within its borders, and even there it only really cares when it is someone of influence, such as the rich capital owners or the celebrities.

I’m trans. No it isn’t.

Claiming that China is actively repressing this while literally employing and front-facing transgender people is absurd. Where are the famous transgender TV personalities employed by the BBC? Britain’s state owned media.

China is visibly trying to improve things for trans people compared to the country I’m currently in (the UK) and your absurdness about it is obviously built on racism because you don’t behave this way about white countries. You only behave this way about non-white countries. Where is your equal criticism? Where is this behaviour when it’s all the white countries that behave this way? You’re american right? Where is it for YOUR country which is currently illegalising trans people, undergoing state sanctioned murder against trans people and having an internal refugee crisis because of it. Where the fuck are the federal protections to prevent this genocide being perpetrated by red states? Non existent. Because democrat support for trans people is performative.

So excuse me but fuck off about criticising China on trans people. You’re a shit.

And that has affected you outside China operating a server based there when?

A bill like this has merit if it’s targeted at real problems, like the sources of fascist growth and propaganda that have existed on the internet for decades.

As per usual the US isn’t interested in going after the fascists though. This will absolutely be used against already marginalised people and the left, by which I mean socialists. There’s a reason it has bipartisan support.

Landlords should not

Not a response to the post. Just making a statement about landlords.

There isn’t any fucking nuance.

There is us pointing out something is racist.

There are racists claiming it is not.

There are racists claiming that the people calling you racist are being abusive for doing so.

That’s it. That’s the discussion. And you look pathetic for it. You were on the side of every other word I mentioned earlier too.

Not sure I understand the joke?

Neither does any media lmao.

minor issue

Casual racism != minor issue

Denial of racism != minor issue

Unless you’re a racist

We all do, there’s definitely a faction within it that’s pretty good but the top is dogshit. They wouldn’t win if Putin was killed though, political assassinations tend to boost support for the parties that receive them, only really worthwhile when it would hurt a party organisationally such as small parties where one person can be very critical. But that’s not happening with any massive party.

Ahhh yes the problem is that Hexbear came in and agreed it is racist, and then the racists threw a fit.

Lmao give it a rest. Calling you a racist isn’t abuse, you just don’t like being called on it and now you’re pissing and whining about it.

Hexbear is a plague on lemmy, I can’t wait for the day of instance-level blocking

It’ll be great, you lot will opt out of seeing us, and opt out of cultural opposition to us. Meanwhile the vast majority will not, and without the far right as a constant source of distraction, concern trolling and sealioning the leftist influence will be even higher.

it hasn’t been confirmed by western sources
