Just to let you know, I am an ethnic Han Chinese born and breed in Singapore.. So I am considered the minority if I am in the US.
As an Oriental Conservative. I have no issues with LGBTQ plus before the past 8 years.
It is fairly simple, we have a fair share of trans in Singapore, we never had a problem with them as a matter of fact we are quite friendly with them.
There is even more Trans in Thailand so as to speak and we visit Thailand for Holidays very often.
The Trans movement in USA is not a Trans movement if I were to be precise, they literally fucked up the whole thing for LGBTQ plus. Those that we see coming out from USA are literally Mentally ILL who are up to no good with insidious intent.
The wokeness part , I don't have to much to say, but my my Ex Prime minister Lee Hsien Loong said it very well, in a very polite and respectful manner.
Let me quote him word by word.
In the West, there is a movement called Wokeness, where you are super sensitive about other people's issues, and you become hyper-sensitive when other people somehow or other say things or mention things
or refer to you without the respect which you or your super sub group feel you are entitled to.
It leads to very extreme attitudes and social norms particularly in some academic institutions, universities.
You talk about safe spaces, You talk about appropriate pronouns.
You talk about " I am about to say something that might be offensive to you, if you don't want to hear it, perhaps you would like to leave now"
And life becomes very burdensome, And I don't think we want to go in that direction.
It does not make us a more resilient , cohesive society with a strong sense of solidarity. We must be more Robust.
And this is exactly what I feel.
I was gonna respond, but dont want a 5 paragraph response back.
