    im in a giant chinese chat server filled with trans people, and none of them are homeless. they are shocked when i tell them about how many homeless trans people are in my other american chat server. even the chinese trans people who are really bad off were given a plot of land by the government to live on (this trans person bought a camper trailer and hooked it up to electricity and plumbing on the government-given plot)

    it is true that access to medical care is difficult for trans people in china, but their basic necessities are provided for as part of a universal grant to all of china’s population. plenty of trans people in america, including friends I know, have died of destitution and would have lived if they were given a plot of land to live off of.








  • there are many types of chromosomes outside of xy and xx. and they are about as common as being trans. shit, its fairly common for karyotype tests to come back with only an x for people past a certain age, a lot of people lose their second sex chromosome over time. this would make many people have an unverifiable ‘birth sex’ beyond just what is physically in their pants

    even if i did have an xy chromosome (i dont even know if i do) being biologically male or female is nebulous. “biological men” dont have big feminine tits and estrogen in them for decades, but i do. so at minimum i am something not phenotypically or biologically male or female despite identifying as a trans woman




  • Aren’t the electors middle ranked party members? This is like saying all of the electoral college reps for president voted correctly. But of course the party acts as one due to deliberation and democratic centralism, the point is to be cohesive and put your best foot forward and not infight openly to the public and make their opinion of you worse for no gain. All of the talks are usually internal to the party, vote percentage is nonsensical. What people vote for in this society are the lower level reps whom they can talk with personally, sometimes these lower reps are at ratios of 100:1 in best instances, so it’s very easy to voice anger and get help with issues and demand they change their votes for the higher offices. It also becomes easier to unseat them and take the spot yourself.
