im in a giant chinese chat server filled with trans people, and none of them are homeless. they are shocked when i tell them about how many homeless trans people are in my other american chat server. even the chinese trans people who are really bad off were given a plot of land by the government to live on (this trans person bought a camper trailer and hooked it up to electricity and plumbing on the government-given plot)

it is true that access to medical care is difficult for trans people in china, but their basic necessities are provided for as part of a universal grant to all of china's population. plenty of trans people in america, including friends I know, have died of destitution and would have lived if they were given a plot of land to live off of.

There are issues with LGBTQ people in CHina, but they're not really worse than Japan for example. Not good, because there is no official support or recognition (except at the local level), but no one really cares, especially not the government (except trans people -- they do get treatment & support)
