Summary

Ling’er, a 28-year-old transgender woman in China, won a record 60,000 yuan ($8,200 USD) in compensation after being subjected to involuntary electroshock conversion therapy at a hospital.

Her parents admitted her in 2022, opposing her gender identity, and she endured seven sessions over 97 days, causing lasting health issues.

The court ruled her personal rights were violated, marking the first legal victory for a trans person against such practices in China.

LGBTQ+ advocates hailed the decision, highlighting persistent challenges and legal grey areas surrounding conversion practices in the country.

    I never said the judicial system of China, I said China as in the country, people of China are a subset of China the country, therefore a Chinese people W is a China W. Can we stop this pointless conversation now?

      It’s impossible to have a conversation here without a half dozen people chiming in with "ackshually!

      I, and every other neuro-normal person knew what you meant. I’d wager the commenter did too they just didn’t know how to contribute because the social skills thing.

      you kinda implied it’s a w by the judicial system of china when you made that first comment, otherwise it doesn’t make much sense. A ‘w’ imo usually refers to good brought as a result of a party’s active actions, and if you meant the people when you said china it really wouldn’t make sense because it’s mostly a dictatorship.

      anyway I’m good to stop having the argument now, you don’t have to reply
