  When you don't use someone's preferred pronouns, you marginalise the whole trans community -- even if the person you don't want to respect is indeed a monster.

  People have certain characteristics about them that are immutable. That Challenor is a pedophile does not change the fact that they are trans and uses she/her pronouns. We can attack her on her actual crimes, and not on perceived crimes (of not being trans enough or, as it seems in this case, that being a pedophile forfeits any validation towards gender identity).

  Falun Dafa = the spiritual practice (although new age and not traditional like they claim, just inspired by)

  Falun Gong = cult that invented the Falun Dafa, alike to Scientology, whose founder believes aliens will visit us any year now, who believes gay people are the devil incarnate, who wants to see China fractured and sent back to the stone age, who makes a ton of money scamming his followers out off their money with the Dafa practice (that he claims is ancestral but he invented it), who is salty because Falung Gong is banned in the PRC for these exact reasons but Falun Dafa isn't so what is the problem? If it was about the practice then he can still practice.

  Shen Yun = their anti-communist theatre troupe that romanticises Imperial China before the revolution. Those songs you hear in the background of their shows? They're all about anti-lgbt stuff lol

  I sincerely hope Falun Gong gets yeeted off this instance asap. You must be part of the cult because I can't imagine anyone would do this freely.
