    When India is more progressive than Britain.

      Transgenderism has a long precolonial history in India. Westerners have been heavily propagandized into thinking they are the origin story of progressivism (mostly colonial propoganda to justify genocide) when the truth is history is much less linear and much more complex than they are made to think it is.

      I’m not suprised that the propoganda exists. But I am in awe when the worldview it promotes is still held by many today. Perhaps the consequence of having a wholly inadequate education system.

      Just a guess, but probably not the best. Probably something similar to Bulgaria. Hopefully I’m wrong. Edit: Gay people are banned from the military, couples can’t get married, civil unions aren’t recognized, couples can’t adopt, but homosexuality has been legal since 2018, and a 3rd gender is recognized. So, not the best for the LGB, but could be worse for the T. Not great for anyone though.

    Big oof. India seems to be doing much better on their minority policy than even United Kingdom is. Seems the West may not be the Bastion of so-called Freedom anymore
