    That’s pretty clearly not what I was saying. I mean talk to transgender people and ask how they feel about constantly suspecting either transgender people you disagree with politically are lying about being trans, or that Russia and China are trying to manipulate them. This is directly undermining and delegitimizing trans expression online, rule number 1 of being a trans ally is to not undermine people that say they are trans.

    They are trans because they say they are, yes. It is nobody’s place to judge, this kind of thinking that you can be the arbiter of who is or isn’t trans is transphobic.

    As for Russia and China, they are in different leagues socially, Russia is far worse while one of the top celebrities in China, Jin Xing, is trans. This would be unheard of in Russia. Moreover, you assert full belief in them “pushing the transgender topic,” despite no evidence whatsoever, beyond “do you think they wouldn’t?” We know the US pushes anticommunism, this is well-documented, and moreover isn’t related to gender identity but blanket opposition.

    You are accused of not being an ally because, frankly, you do the job of transphobes for them. You play right into MAGA Q-Anon hands.

        Not from the country, nor do I know why you seem to hate people from the country, nor am I paid nor a shill. Guess we can add more baseless accusations and outlashes when getting called out to your list.

          An uninformed, unsophisticated, or unintelligent person.

          You act like you were born yesterday with some of these takes. It’s impossible to tell over the internet whether you’re actually that naive, or if it’s a deliberate charade.
