“Queer ideology is a Western Import” is a common line touted by anti-gender actors in Asia Pacific, but it is a line that is factually wrong. Trans identities have existed in Asia Pacific long before the age of colonization. In fact, the real Western import was the homophobia and transphobia colonizers brought along with them, evident in the use of section 377A imported by British law. We have always been here. We will continue to be here, and no rule, law, or legislation can eradicate queer and trans identities from the Asia Pacific. #LGBTQHistoryMonth #TransRights #LGBTQRights
