Incredibly important
Forwarded from The Communist Pact
The Communist Pact is a socialist federation of groups and channels that seeks propagation of marxist revolutionary content from theory to praxis. We also seek propagation of content related to the emancipation of socialist countries and third world countries, therefore, delegitimizing western propaganda.

“Insist on historical materialism,” Xi suggests, mandating that “the whole party must strengthen the study and application of Marxist philosophy, strive to use Marxist philosophy as a housekeeping skill, and improve the ability to use Marxist positions, viewpoints, and methods to analyze and solve problems. As an important part of Marxist philosophy, historical materialism is a science about the general laws of the development of human society.”
LGBT people are now a visible feature of life in the PRC, as demonstrated by the publicized release of a letter from over 190 organizations across China condemning violence based on sexual orientation, after a gunman killed 49 people in a gay nightclub in the USA in 2016 (Bai 2016). The letter added that LGBT people in China experience unacceptable violence and discrimination, as evidenced by the existence of “gay conversion therapy” and school-yard bullying of LGBT youth. As this action suggests, LGBT people are marginalized in the PRC, but they are no longer invisible or voiceless.

The growth of LGBT-friendly websites and social media since the 2000s has provided expanded means of communication and socialization for gays and lesbians, and to a lesser extent for bisexual and transgender people (UNDP, USAID 2014: 12). Large and medium-sized cities now have bars and cafés that are frequented by young urban gays and lesbians, and low- and high-end bathhouses that are patronized by older men who have sex with men but who may not self-identify as homosexual (Jeffreys and Yu 2015: 75–76). LGBT organizations can also be found in numerous cities, with organizations such as the Chinese Lala [Lesbian] Alliance holding networking, capacity building and advocacy training camps in different cities since 2007 (UNDP, USAID 2014: 50).

In 2015, Jin Xing, once China’s best male dancer while performing with the People’s Liberation Army troupe, and now an internationally acclaimed dancer and the married mother of three adopted children, started hosting her own television talk show, after a popular stint as a “hard” judge on China’s So You Think You Can Dance (Jin Xing tuokou xiu 2015). Widespread public interest in Jin’s life story has opened the space for discussions of transgender people. However, her life is typically presented in the media in terms of gender conformity – the struggle of a woman trapped in a man’s body to become her true self and realize her dreams – rather than challenging the male/female gender binary (Davies and Davies 2010). Her parents’ acceptance of her decision to have sex reassignment surgery and her public, rich and glamorous lifestyle also stand in marked contrast to the lives of most transgender people in China who cannot afford costly hormone replacement therapy and surgery, which are difficult to access through the state-funded health care system (UNDP, USAID 2014: 7).
