Like Caitlyn Jenner? The one who killed a person and never saw the inside of jail cell?
Turns out being rich in america puts you above the political class, what a revelation.
It’s the same everywhere, because it’s the main contradiction. I’m just pointing out that intersections like trans are nuanced and when comparing between countries, it’s important to compare within classes.
So a rich transgendered person within one country is going to have a much different experience than a poor transgendered person even within the same country, much less a different country.
In china they execute billionares and allow working class trans people to live unimpeded lives
Biased if true. But there are lots of billionaires who are in the party, so it’s not like reaching billionaire status automatically warrants execution.
And being trans has nothing to do with that.
It doesnt, but in China they arrest the corrupt ones, execute the ones who kill and keep the well behaved ones on a tight leash.
In the US we let them fuck children on epstein pedo islands, kill with impunity then aplogize for stepping on there feet.

Oversimplification, but still. Have a picture lmao
Change the dollar to a yuan symbol and I’ll be inclined to upvote.
Well, well, well, isn't that just the thing that we say all the time? That in capitalism the primary division is class and all the other ones are contingent on that.
Sure, it’s said. But it’s often forgotten in analysis.
Because the primary division is class, you need to account for class when making analysis for anything else.
So, if you’re making a claim that trans people are more well off in China vs America, with a rich trans woman celebrity in China as an example, then you need to compare that to a rich trans woman celebrity in America.
