      Because transgender is a concept that started in the western part of the world. It still has a long way to go to make its way into the East Asian countries. Take Taiwan for example. They legalized same-sex marriage a couple years ago, making them one of the most open places in Asia to the concept of LGB, but there aren’t many transgender people there either.

        Oh, so we are just going to completely ignore the long history of thai lady boys and them being a sign of status.

          Thai culture is pretty different from Chinese culture (compared to other cultures in Southeast Asia). I did somehow forget the existence of Thailand when making my previous comment though, sorry about that.

            So are you going to adjust your statement about transgender being a western creation, or are you just going to keep being wrong?

              I am not going to adjust my statement. I feel like you are just looking to start an argument and I would like to politely refuse to participate.

                Oh, so because you were wrong, you are just down voting and walking away. Got it. That’s fine. Points aren’t points in lemmy. You can down vote with all your alts, I don’t care.

                God run away into whatever corner you need to. I’m just really sorry that you were never taught that it’s okay to change your opinion when presented with facts.

                Best of luck.
