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.
