SerenityReceiver I think the problem may lie in the ‘reality’. China underwent a population control mandate of 1 child per family. Culturally, Chinese find daughters a burden, and require a son to inherit, carry on the name, etc. Years down the line....severe excess of men. On top of that, pressure for women to marry by circa mid 20’s. 30yo women regarded as leftover. They’ll end up with older white men. Plus younger women with insane expectations of/from men. So there are loads of men sharing prostitutes or whatever. China needs more women. The feminisation of the men is ‘not good’ for their society. I recall when Asian men were respected. Now worldwide, men see them as ‘cuck’ pushovers. I often see a tidy Asian man and woman together and then realise that ugly, dorky white dude is her bf and that Asian dude is the gooseberry on the date!

This is honestly amazing so happy to see that there’s drag queens in other countries other than America

Guy in silver's costume reminds me of Lady Gaga. Also agree that every guy should try to wear heels and a bra to know what it feels like. They don't realise how uncomfortable those things can be even though most like girls wearing them. I'm very surprised Asian countries, China in particular, is taking this on. Asian countries are quite traditional so I wasn't expecting this. It's definitely not a common thing or as accepted in the west, people still fear for their lives as one guy mentioned his mother's worries about standing out in any sense. I hope people are just more accepting all around. We'll all probably be dead before the whole world is accepting of this or lgbtq+ people but at least progress is being made. As long as it isn't hurting anyone, I'll be supportive.

In that last sentence he said gender was easy to break (打破), not 'cross'. Breaking gender is a step beyond crossing, crossing gender is just a tool needed to break down gendered boundaries. Breaking down gendered restrictions is what we need to be free. While I don't agree that breaking gender is easy, I do agree with his intentions of doing it. Let's not translate away his radical way of thinking. :)
