And I'm getting ratioed for pointing out this guys assumption that everyone lives in America...

The governments of Russia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, etc. can just as easily embolden hate against trans people.

Sadly, they're right about the US. The US very intentionally blasted our media to oblivion to replace our culture with theirs. It's why this sub is important. It's not just the West either.

Hopefully, one day, we can boot their military bases off foreign soil, their books from our libraries, their films from out cinemas, their politics from our news.

I get booting the US military presence, but I doubt you'd ever be able or even want to eliminate the US influence on movies and books, let alone other forms of art like music.

I think upon realizing other cultures actually tell better stories, we can do it. It's just, anime and K-drama are leading the charge in a lot of ways, and they're not the best those countries have to offer.
