Did you choose to just ignore this statement and others I wrote to make my position clear? I understand why you're angry, but you are completely misreading what I am saying to an absurd degree.
I am clearly making an argument that Mei being questioned by the police for kidnapping is not indicative of systematic discrimination.
You can choose to disagree with that statement, vehemently if you prefer. But you're arguing against a construct where I said that transphobia is a-okay and that Ying's treatment is acceptable. I didn't say that so there's not much for me to object.
As you know, Lemmygrad is an instance where we see LGBT liberation as a core tenet, so I think you're misreading the room here. We are objecting to Western slander of gay and trans genocide in China. That's very different from thinking that the state of affairs in China's acceptable.
I was not discussing the slander of the Chinese by western media. I was disgusted at your time regarding the ancedote.
Chinese law states an individual is a complete adult at 18.
