🧵 Thread on every Vietnamese he/him lesbian musician in this photo and some of their songs (except Vicky Nhung bc i'm not familiar with their work sorry😭)
Something I’ve noticed listening to the way transsexuals used to talk about themselves, they are very reserved in acknowledging their womanhood “until I get my sex change”
Gil Lê is an actor, singer and gameshow host! He was in a girlgroup, hosted the Vietnamese ver of X-Factor & The Voice Kids, starred in the queer comedy drama "Yêu" and recently started doing music again! Check out his punk rock cover of a wren evans song!
Some notes on the Vietnamese language: Bc the language uses gendered pronouns, all of these artists have used the masculine pronoun "anh" in one of their songs!!!
Phương Uyên is a singer/songwriter! He was in the group Ba Con Mèo in the 90s, and wrote hits such as Mẹ tôi and Gia đình tôi. For me I have a core memory of his Mắt Nai Cha Cha Cha mv but i can't find it online :(
He is happily married to his wife fellow singer Thanh Hà <3
Happy (belated) tdov from Vietnam! My heart goes out to all my southeast asian sisters, who had to leave their close-knitted families, underwent shady medical procedures and even had to turn to sex work just to survive, while our government refuses to recognize us & misgender us
joe ơi mình hy vọng thứ duy nhất bạn có thể nếm được đến hết đời là vị mặn đắng của giọt nước mắt bạn rơi khi vợ bạn kí đơn ly dị và cướp hết tài sản của bạn xoxo cô gái nhiều chuyện
I don’t care about the next American election, if you ask any northern Vietnamese person who lived throughout the war, they would tell you that the democratic and republican presidents r both side of the same coin. Theres a reason why johnson and nixon are popular names for dogs.
Vũ Cát Tường is a singer, songwriter & music producer! He was the runner-up of The Voice Vietnam 2014, some of his hits r Yêu Xa, Mơ, Vết Mưa & Tìm Hành Tinh Khác! He came out as a lesbian in 2022 and recently released a really cute bossa nova song
tw:// agent orange
the effects of agent orange is generational, it affected not only the soldiers who fought in the war, but their children and grandchildren also, which is why it’s so fucking disgusting and infuriating that the US was not held accountable for it.
It lost all three cases. The US courts ruled there was insufficient scientific evidence to link Agent Orange to the debilitating condition many Vietnamese were suffering.

Happy Vietnamese women's day!! Today I want to share a poem piece from Xuân Quỳnh aka my favorite Vietnamese poet!! (and the only one i'd read tbh). Here's a really rough translation by urs truly:
"Dear sweetheart, my great man
You are the sun, I'm just a grain of salt...
These poor girls don't even consider themselves "real women" and used slurs to refer to themselves :((( , partly bc of the bioessentialist nature of confucianism in Vietnam, but also bc of the stereotypical and downright harmful ways the media likes to portray queer ppl
Growing up in the global south means that u rarely ever see trans women get to be successful, and when they do it always come with a caveat. U have to deal with constant reminder of ur past and ur male-ness but u also have to be skinny and beautiful. It gets hopeless sometimes.
minh triệu and kỳ duyên broke up... vũ cát tường getting married... karina has a bf... check up on ur local vietnamese lesbian right now its like 100 9/11s out here
Cw:// terf & racism stuff
Some of yall “radfems” r never beating the chauvinism allegations 😭 Like the article headline literally says “women r saying no” but of course its all bc of the big bad communist gov controlling docile and “mindless” asian women
bác Hồ ơi những người đàn ông bác đã nuôi dạy để đánh giặc ngoại xâm bây giờ để profile pic gái anime trên mạng xã hội cãi nhau trên facebook để xem phụ nữ có xứng đáng được các quyền cơ bản hay không
Idk if Amerikkkan liberals remember the president who decided to invade Vietnam was a Democrat 😭😭😭 Like u r going to choose between different flavors of war mongering no matter what & the only difference is that one of them hates u and the other hates u but in silent 😭😭😭😭
War crime fact of the day: The US, along with the French and Japanese, were directly responsible for the 1945 famines in Vietnam, but somehow escaped criticism because of course, they can!!!!!! The famine killed 400000- 2 million Vietnamese.
I was having a really bad day today but i came across a viral facebook post about a 41 years old Vietnamese trans lesbian who after 6 months of coming out to her wife and kids, looks absolutely wonderful and the comments are all so supportive 😭😭
Reading this Xuân Quỳnh poem i am reminded of the videos of Palestinian adults trying to comfort & cheer up their children despite everything. She understood that war is inevitable, and that her children had to grow up in bomb shelters and yet she never mentioned suffering
Cw:// deadnaming
Hey
@SCMPNews
i think its really gross to misgender, deadname and have pretransition photos of a Vietnamese trans woman as a thumbnail in this new article of yours actually
There r trans lesbians and sapphics in Vietnam tho 😭whoever this is doesn’t need to do this the lesbian chaser market here is severely under-developed 😭😭😭😭
I saw an ad the other day for a jewlery brand that stars a trans celebrity. They highlighted the feeling of before and after buying their products by having her acted out as her pre-transition self. I hope she doesn’t let that affect her but its so needlessly cruel to me
is there like a transfem term for "guy who's a little too into lesbian relationships in media but never sexualizes them and follows all these lesbian youtubers and learn all about feminism because he's such a good ally but now she's queer & trans" cuz u know

@spidres
This is technically more like a stage show meets bingo session for all ages 💀 if u or someone u know knows vietnamese id highly recommend visiting đoàn lô tô sài gòn tân thời
vietcetera holding a summit with famous zionist nas daily should not surprise anyone lol one of the editor's bf is a crypto bro who scammed billions of vnd and got away with it
@matcatastrophe
@LunaOi_VN
And the general population of Vietnam views the efforts of America in the war as extremely positive and wishes we would of won and kept them free
I think the first year of my transition did irreversible damage to my sense of self, & its really because i spent so much time online and so disconnect from my community. Like it always shocking to me to see trans women irl talk so proudly and loudly, and take up space w/o shame
i think that one of the worst things you can do to yourself as a younger transfem is frame everything flawed/bad/selfish about yourself as A Male Trait. it's not tough love + it won't help you self-improve or become self-aware faster, it just makes you vulnerable to transmisogyny
Btw nếu có bạn nào là transfem/ chuyển giới nữ (tính) người Việt mà muốn dùng hormones thì cứ DM mình nhé!
If ur a transfem person in Vietnam looking to DIY ur hormones pls DM me!! Its actually really easy once u know what to look for and what to avoid!!!
Hmmm r my moots interested in a Vietnamese music end of year recommendation? I'm thinking I'll recommend 10 musical projects by women and queer people lol
The Asian community is full of hard working ppl and very peaceful. We aren’t a violent community and are friendly and very family oriented. We are civilized and loving 🥰 ppl with lots of pride and culture.
"Women are having less children" is happening in South Korea and Japan as well, and it's going to happen in Vietnam too like it's not even bc of the one-child policy problem 😭😭 but of course u chauvinistic bioessentialist dirty asscracks r incapable of understanding nuance
The fact that việt kiềus only know the word đụ má as an insult is kinda funny and cute actually… understanding what middle aged hanoian aunties say to each other every morning will probably make yall go into cardiac arrest
(Vietnamese oomfs only) Don’t u just hate it when u hold to save a picture from twitter and the zalo contacts immediately popped up???? Like sure my mother would really enjoy this meme about puppygirl degradation like of course
Hey im boosting this again bc Audrey has been having financial problems and her parents r refusing to help her financially. Please keep in mind that shes a minor and cant afford the time to get a job because of her studies, so any amount is greatly appreciated!!!

on this day a filipino trans woman, jennifer laude, was choked to death & left to rot in a toilet bowl by a US marine who pleaded the trans panic defense & was then set free by authoritarian president duterte aided by laude’s former lawyer turned presidential lap dog, harry roque
the queen dying made me realized my relationship with u is gone. i treated our relationship like izabeth and no matter who windsor loses i took the El. i just want 1 more chane with u, kay?u don’t have to reply i know u feel the same way II x
My canon event is stumbling upon an interview about a vietnamese trans lesbian woman, cried while watching it, then follow that woman on facebook, found out she has a dojo, is a fengshui expert and makes campy lesbian music videos only to see her being antivax months later
I’m not gonna share the post here bc i want to respect her privacy but whats really funny is some cis women kept tagging their husband telling them to transition 😭😭😭😭😭
Funfact: Here’s Gil Lê and Vũ Cát Tường as the host and one of the judges in The Voice Kids Vietnam back in 2016!
Ethics about children reality show aside, i think it’s really cool to have gnc people interact with kids in a family show for a national network!
Gil Lê is an actor, singer and gameshow host! He was in a girlgroup, hosted the Vietnamese ver of X-Factor & The Voice Kids, starred in the queer comedy drama "Yêu" and recently started doing music again! Check out his punk rock cover of a wren evans song!
mourning the life i could have had if ableism did not fuck up my childhood, if capitalism did not fuck up my parent's lives, if imperialism did not fuck up my country so that generations of my family did not have to focus on surviving and live our best lives
this year i will stop comparing myself to cisgender women my age. i realized that doing so is inherently unfair considering they have the chance and the opportunity to be women their whole lives. it is incredibly cruel to myself. i did and am doing everything i can to survive.
As a dirty commie i never understood the americans’ obsession w lunchables… like why is everything processed and cold… where is the vegetables and hot soup….
BREAKING: Lunchables have been found to contain dangerous amounts of lead.
New research has also shows that Lunchables have chemicals found in plastics that have been linked to reproductive problems, diabetes, and certain cancers.
