Get to know about trans people

Hi all. I live in an Asian country which is the topics like sex and LGBTQ are out of the table. But I am curios about those topics. I have never met any trans people in my life. So, I would like to get to know about trans people and also would like to talk or chat with a trans person. I have millions of questions to ask, but I don't know any trans people. So, anyone know a place where I can meet some open minded trans people who would like to get to know about them? I may ask some weird questions too, so it is better to know open minded people.

Tiktok is full of them focused on talking about themselves and their trans'ness and they love to be asked questions about themselves.

I never have myself but trans people seem endlessly keen to talk about themselves and promote themselves and very often do so online. The internet is full of them!
But my question is why are you so keen to talk to a trans person?

Tbh I think you'd be better having a watch of videos of people talking about why they find the concept of "trans" so difficult and problematic - eg Type the name Helen Joyce into you tube and watch any with her talking about the trans cult (many would refer to it as a "movement" but really its a cult) Also try watching videos of detransitioners talking....... watching them talk about their pain, their distress at realising it was all an enormous bundle of lies.

That is a minority of trans people who have been amplified by social media. The majority of trans people are quiet about it and they have no regrets.

Look at Marcus Dib for an example of a trans person who is clearly separate from the crazy few.

Anyway it is still important for those planning to transition to be aware of detransitioners and not rush into hormones and surgery, and those like Lily Tino and Lia Thomas to be kept out of female spaces, but they don't say anything about the majority of trans people.

@RectifiedFootball
But Marcus still thinks she is a man. Ergo whilst quieter and far less bothersome she is still someone who has bought the lie that to be happy she needs to have surgery, pretend to be something she is not etc. She will never actually be a man. Learning to love the person you ACTUALLY are is a much better option. Something we should all be striving for.

Having been reading about this topic, following the news on it for about 8-9 years now I just dont buy the argument that most trans people are quiet about it and have no regrets.

Transfolk are rarely quiet - its transday, week, month of visibility. Look at me me me, respect my pronouns yadda yadda almost everyday seemingly.

Maybe they are not regretful now........... but in time they will be.

I must ask, what cult. There is no "leader" or anything for this so-called cult. - a trans person
