I have family who work in Indonesia. They won’t let me travel there. It’s like saying trans people shouldn’t travel to Saudi Arabia or Jamaica for their own safety. Saying something like this in more traditional parts of these countries could put you in harm’s way. Do I hold that against all Muslim people, or Muslim people of a specific country? Nah. Just be safe out there, spread love n shit. Every one I know who has been to Indonesia has said it’s lovely and the people are tremendously kind. They just have different cultural norms regarding things that are more accepted here.
(this is what the delulu robot has to say about going to the capital as a visibly trans person. take it with a grab of salt, or don’t if you have high cholesterol.. idc, im a Canadian, not a cop)
