For the record, I am Chinese.

All orgs that receive foreign funding are eligible to be shut down. Straight, LGBT, doesn’t matter. Especially if it’s run a Fellow at Salzburg Global, an organization run by an American Billionaire. Sure is a made-up story with a paper trail on the website itself.

If it was straight up about silencing LGBT, the government wouldn’t be opening transgender clinics for kids, an act that would cause domestic terrorism by some MAGA dipshit with a smooth brain if it were to happen in the US on private property, let alone a government funded one.

Here’s an example of Chinese courts siding with a transgender employee who was fired for “absence” while recovering from reassignment surgery.

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.”

Here’s another example of Chinese courts siding with a trans woman, granting her all the legal protections extended to women re: discrimination

In conclusion: The LGBT orgs that were shut down was due to foreign ties, not the state being inherently against the concept of queer people.
