“Joya Patiha, a 43-year-old Indonesian transgender woman, first started to notice that changing weather patterns in the mountain-ringed city of Bandung were affecting her income as a sex worker a decade ago.
The rainy season was lasting longer across the West Java province, winds were stronger and in some particularly bad years Patiha lost up to 80% of her earnings…….
Trans women like Patiha are among the most affected by extreme weather linked to climate change, as well as suffering disproportionately when disasters strike.”
(So anyway, the article goes on to explain that they are the hardest hit because they have to solicit customers outdoors and people stay inside when it’s raining. Or some stupid thing like that. But then the article drops this…..)
“Despite gender-fluid communities being historically accepted in Indonesia, a rising tide of conservative Islam in the world’s largest Muslim-majority country has fuelled anti-LGBTQ+ persecution.”
How climate change is hitting vulnerable Indonesian trans sex workers
Muslims being mean to LGBT? First I have ever heard of that. I though the Muslims had their own stripe on the pride flag?
