David Mixner’s relentless efforts inspired ICWA to establish the @DavidMixner LGBTQ+ Fellowship with the support of its trustees & sponsors. The two-year research fellowship enables an outstanding young professional to travel, study & write about international LGBTQ+ issues. 🔗⬆️ /david-mixner-lgbtq-fellowship/
Our inaugural @DavidMixner LGBTQ+ fellow, Edric Huang, launched in 2023. @__erd__ has been immersing himself in queer communities across Taiwan, examining coalition-building amid pluralistic identity politics, legal battles and geopolitical pressures. /current-fellows/edric-huang/
In his latest dispatch, @DavidMixner LGBTQ+ fellow Edric Huang reports on how transgender performers in Taiwan are telling their stories in some profoundly self-revealing productions that are both subversive & confrontational. /transgender-performers-taiwan/ #taiwanpride #queertaiwan #lgbtqfellowship #queerfellowship #lgbtrightsarehumanrights #lgbtrights
The description of a concert noted that post-punk rock bands in China are inseparable from medicine. It didn’t say for what: numbing, or soothing, or recovering some sense of self in a state where politics & power are often on the mind. But as I bopped along (to post-punk rock, to techno, to edm), surrounded by other eyes locked forward on the band/dj as though in prayer, I felt at least a lil hopeful of the healing Chinese people can offer one another — everyday respites & alternative realities built if only a few hours at a time.

A stranger on the path to 阿里山 finds two fools tripping over puddles of wet leaves, and offers them refuge in her pickup truck.
Elsewhere, a circle of elders in a rural village outside of 昆明 offer me hemp seeds and stories in the same breath. They don’t let us leave until we are full from either.
A friend (for life) and I hack our way through an unmarked path and sit atop some rice terraces — unsure of how we’ll make it back down, how we’ll make it thru all the tribulations of life & love & so on, but in awe that we can sit here, specifically, in the company of the other. A farmer judges us from a distance as we laugh at our life choices.
Generous people, fitting snugly into the backdrop of generous views ~

Looking out from an 11th-floor hotel room my last night in Beijing, there wasn’t much to see: hazy darkness, a blanket of black sutured with bike blinkers and hole-in-the-wall fluorescence spilling into streets. But over the year, I’ve learned that Beijing opens up in surprising ways. Unmarked doors into homey cafes. 胡同 alleyways into open skies framed by super-malls. A whole city through Tsinghua’s many gates. On a sun-split afternoon, I remember turning a corner somewhere in 东城 to an army of yellow-hatted primary school kids, waddling to grandparents exchanging neighborly gossip. Long meandering walks turned into encounters with these deep pockets of life as well as the depths of friendship. ‘Home’ as we’ve built it is ever deepening, and it’s been a joy to fall into it with so many smiles captured here & in coming posts hehe fuzhou crew knows I came into this shit skeptical and cautious and a lil scared of where/how i’d belong and i leave with a much more open heart for these friends & this country’s people 💛
