I’m really struggling to find the interview on YouTube. I don’t remember the interviewees name.

It’s was a Chinese activist or historian. And she was basically saying that many Asian societies had queer people long before the westerners came. And while it wasn’t really out in the open as such, everyone lived how they liked and it was ok.

The problems started when the westerners came and started having to label everything.

I’m not going to try and mangle the reasons she gave why labels caused problems.
