I am from India. There are incidents, but very uncommon, because LGBT people have existed as “kinnar/hijda” for centuries here. There are no active organisations or groups that hate LGBT people. It is not because of patriarchy against women. Both groups do not have to be oppressed and binded together everywhere in the world, just because Christianity and Islam dominated countries oppress both women and LGBT crowds.
I’ve had many long conversations with a gay Indian friend, his experiences really don’t match the rose tinted version of things you’re portraying.
And of course we don’t even need to go into the treatment of women everywhere but the middle class portions of the nose progressive cities, everyone is very well aware of the problems.
