I recently came across this article about Iran and how LGB people are being forced to undergo the transgender sex reassignment procedures:
(edit: can't find the link I originally intended, here's another relevant one) https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29832690
It seems like there is a lot of evidence to suggest that transgender medical procedures are being used as weapons by homophobic organizations to suppress and harm LGB people. I have seen a few different people talking about Russia as well, for example. Or, in the UK, Tavistock whistleblower report described at least one child whose parent was making them take gender reassignment drugs or undergo other procedures because the child was homosexual.
What I was thinking of, was trying to put together some sort of resource, maybe an interactive map or even just some sort of wiki-like page with a list of countries where we know this is happening, and then links to articles for each. The reason why I think this might be helpful is because trans rights activists deny that transgender medical practices could harm LGB people, when clearly they are being put to use in many countries for the specific purpose of erasing LGB people.
Anyone know of any countries, or news articles / other sources about countries, where this is going on?
Also, does anyone know how to add tags to a post, or what tags are available? I thought a "Resources" tag might be useful.
