    nearly every western politician was is a virulent homophobe and transphobe well into the 1990s 2020s.

    Fixed that for you 😉

    But yeah, liberals (even so-called leftists) very much like to pretend that western countries weren’t even worse about this

      Why do people make this about a country as an entire block? There are trans people and trans allies in all countries. All countries have transphobes in them as well. We can discuss particular policies and say we are in solidarity with the local allies in those countries. However the way this is depicted is some sort of weird orientalist kenard to bash “orientals” for their backwardness rather than stand and help people in the more transphobic regions.

      I’d like to know how we can create better environments for sexual and trans minorities without state department manipulations.
