The rights of transgender workers in China have been given a shot in the arm after a Beijing court ruled in favour of an employee who was fired for taking time off to recover from gender reassignment surgery.

It’s striking to me that the Court could have just rendered a decision based on the law and the contract, but decided to add that part about respecting diversity and LGBT people. Almost like a warning shot to anyone else who would try to pull this shit.

That’s the neat part: they refuse to learn
