    The Beijing No 2 Intermediate People’s Court went on to state that “social tolerance is a blessing of the rule of law” and highlighted the need to “respect diverse ways of living and protect the dignity of transgender people.”

    The LIB are going to be very upset when they learn this. How could evil China stand up for their transgender comrades?! Jokes aside, this is great progress and I hope things continue to improve so that China be another safe haven on the likes of Cuba. xi-clap

      It’s striking to me that the Court could have just rendered a decision based on the law and the contract, but decided to add that part about respecting diversity and LGBT people. Almost like a warning shot to anyone else who would try to pull this shit.

      Good stuff.

        Gotta append with “but the tibetans” though

        Never once stopping to consider what the theocratic slave owning class would have thought about LGBT people…
