Thank you for answering my question. Many Chinese people judge Western gender diversity issues based on reproductive organs, which leads to widespread misunderstandings. Additionally, when we watch international news, we often see cases where some individuals exploit gender diversity to evade legal consequences, exacerbating the negative perception of gender diversity. Because news needs to attract viewers, those who lawfully live within gender diversity are often overlooked, resulting in the stigmatization of gender diversity.
In my opinion, the issue of gender diversity is an attempt to answer “Who am I?” This indeed falls within the realm of personal spirit. But as you know, people have subjective initiative. When someone identifies as a gender-diverse individual and takes action, their behavior can be observed and is material. Just like with God, no one has seen or touched God; God seems to exist only as a concept passed down orally and retained in people’s minds. However, God’s believers are real people in life, and they deeply influence the world. Historically, there were events like the Crusades, and in modern times, there are large-scale pilgrimages to holy cities and global anti-terrorism wars resulting from extreme religious beliefs. These events affect us on a material level. While God may hold no value to materialists, God holds great value to believers. Therefore, listening to believers’ needs and guiding their productivity towards promoting social development is meaningful to materialists.
In my view, your comparison of gender diversity with God is correct, as both attempt to answer the ultimate questions of “Who am I?” and “Where am I going?” This is also why strong suppression of gender diversity is bound to be harmful, as such suppression essentially denies an individual’s independent personality.
Due to 1) the ancient Chinese concept of people’s livelihood, 2) the influence of the October Revolution on modern China, and 3) the deep-rooted image of the Communist Party of China in China, most Chinese people have a different perspective on leftism. They believe leftists are more inclined to be: 1) willing to eliminate poverty in a practical way (not by making empty promises), 2) honest and upright, and 3) willing to fight against social injustice, similar to Lenin’s concept of the “vanguard of the proletariat.” More radical individuals believe that communists and leftists abroad fighting social injustice through protests and demonstrations are somewhat “playing house.” They think people should arm themselves and directly overthrow the government (which I find impractical and contrary to Lenin’s “three elements of revolution”). Leftism in China is generally viewed positively, but it can be said that there are various factions, just as the Russian Revolution was divided into Bolsheviks and Mensheviks.

Thank you for your answer. It was both excellent and humbling. I realize now that my discipline in dialectical materialism has been lacking.
