China is the last sovereign country in the world. Authoritarian but willing -- unlike U.N.-governed countries -- to give its people the freedom to do what they want.

Grapplejack posted:That's a good first step but pinkwashing is a very real thing and needs to be kept in mind when celebrating advertising victories that aren't being equally matched with social changes. We see it a lot in the US, so it's something worth keeping an eye on. Still, for a country that doesn't really have LGBT media visible this is a big deal. was i the only one who read brutalist mcdonalds effortpost about chinas biggest variety show star being a transperson who no one outside of china has heard of because their variety show programming isnt exported

Some Guy TT posted:for reference The article mentions that she's mum about a number of things regarding her reassignment surgery and other stuff and it makes me think that they had special circumstances that allowed them to be where they are today in a way normal Chinese people couldn't obtain quote:Jin won't discuss the circumstances surrounding how she was allowed to change her sexual identity. She was not the first person to undergo the procedure in China. But the practice was widely considered taboo — the first media reports about gender reassignment began to pop up in Xinhua, China's official news agency, in the early '90s but usually in a negative context (the surgery was often described as a lifesaving procedure for those who had "self-harmed") — and Jin was the first public figure to transition. And since her transition was so high profile — she already was famous as a male dancer at the time — the fact that the Chinese government did nothing to stop it was widely seen as tacit permission. Today, gender reassignment remains rare, but, as with homosexuality, China's official stance is opaque. Likely, she called in a number of favors from her time in the military to let her do this without stirring up trouble, but it's possible she also knows where a few skeletons are buried and have leveraged them for her advantage. But who knows.

or maybe she values her privacy and doesnt want random people to be privy to the minute details of her personal life an admittedly preposterous notion if you assume that modern american celebrity culture is the standard for normal

I agree that they probably should've gotten some better LTL options when they permanently blinded a medic and a journalist with their existing ones

Could be wrong here. That her talking up time to talk about her bits would be weirder to a Chinese audience than not doing so. So she is perhaps just having a normal day not showing her genitals to strangers while presenting the weather or whatever.

https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1217491639448539137 I applaud young comrade's spirit of revolutionary self-sacrifice and the generosity of Chinese working class internet donors for paying her hospital bills: if every Chinese eat "one less mouthful of rice" a day, it can save enough to feed the whole world
