[Long Thread] Hello everyone. Recent controversies over transphobia among Chinese lesbians have drawn international attention, and I’ve received numerous messages from people who are curious/concerned about the current living conditions of trans women in China. I wish to take this opportunity to explain the structural oppression and struggles for survival that trans women in China currently face. The target audience of this thread includes fellow trans people and allies around the world and to cis people who view us with skepticism or outright hostility. My name is amber. I am a trans woman who grew up in China and a PhD student at @wgsi. My research focuses on transfem community history in China since 1980. This is a long thread. Please feel free to repost, bookmark, save, and share it on other platforms. I will also update it in response to feedback.
各位好。近期，中国女同的恐跨争议在推特上引起了国际关注，有许多人都对中国跨性别女性的生存状况感到好奇和担忧，也有部分人对我们受到的压迫嗤之以鼻。因此，我希望借此机会介绍中国跨性别女性目前面临的结构性压迫和生存困境。本帖的目标受众既包括来自世界各地的同类和友跨人士，也包括那些对我们心生怀疑乃至抱着明确敌意的顺性别者们。我是amber，是一名在中国长大的跨性别女性，也是多伦多大学性别研究系（WGSI）的博士生；我的研究方向是1980年之后的中国跨性别女性社群历史。本贴较长，大家可以任意转发收藏保存并传播，我也会基于后续反馈对此贴进行更新。1/10

I try to revisit Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park once a year. Now more than ever before it feels like a more potent reminder of the troubling reality of nuclear weapons.

When I was student - around 18 years old - everyone in the class had to give a presentation about any topic that we found interesting (under the guise of public speaking practice).

While most other students chose football, food or TV, for some reason I felt compelled to give mine on nuclear weapons. I think initially the naive kid in me was in awe that mankind had created a weapon the size of a car that could destroy an entire city. But the more I researched the more I realised it was more horrifying than anything I could have imagined.

The turning point was learning that a single modern ICBM such as the Russian R36 can carry up to TEN independently targetable warheads. Each warhead carrying an astonishing payload of around 500 kilotons (33 times larger than the Hiroshima bomb which was just 15kt).

I remember giving the presentation on what a single missile would look like if it was deployed over London (50 miles from our school) and hearing gasps in the room. Nobody in the class really knew or appreciated what modern weapons could do.

Hiroshima is a city of hope - but there’s no reason to feel particularly hopeful in a nuclear war.

Sometimes watching the news it feels like we’re living in a world before the inevitable, as countries rapidly grow their stockpiles, more nations acquire them and others recklessly threaten to use them. Honestly, I wish I could feel more optimistic about it all.

But with all things existential, it’s a constant reminder to enjoy each and everyday and to make every moment count. Ultimately, now is all we have.

There’s nothing patriotic about attacking members of our military.
