I've checked her other writings, they're filled with Australian anti-china brainworms that only come from being a white aussie who uncritically loves the West.

Within China, Douyin complies with strict national content regulation. This includes censoring information about the religious movement Falun Gong and the Tiananmen massacre, among other examples.

This is totally a person whose opinions on China we should take very seriously and even more seriously than actual Chinese queer people from within the diaspora and in China because lgbtq advocacy to the West and many queers who live in the Imperial Core is about "civilizing" socially-backwards peoples into the wonders of hollywood-brand white gays.
