李琴峰 LGBTQ 出櫃聲明 數位性別暴力
旅日作家李琴峰是史上第一位台籍芥川獎得主，於11月20日「跨性別追悼日」發超過6500字的「被迫出櫃聲明」，承認自己是跨性別者。文中檢視反跨性別浪潮，並控訴自己在台灣遭到一群網路霸凌者攻擊、言語性騷及誹謗，為保護家人、自己亦無法再屢受霸凌的台灣安心生活，於是才決定移居日本。然而，一群台灣的反跨霸凌者卻仍舊在許多社群平台上對她進行強迫出櫃（侵犯隱私）、言語性騷、誹謗中傷，至今尚未停止。她試圖透過法律途徑解決問題，台灣司法卻不起訴霸凌者，她說，「如果可以，我根本不想出這個櫃」。
李琴峰提到，自己是一個女同志，出道多年來致力於書寫LGBTQ+的故事，也積極支持同婚等相關議題，每年也會參加（日本的）同志遊行。這些都是已公開的資訊，是屬於她的真實，但今日她還要在這裡鄭重地出另一個櫃，「我，李琴峰，同時也是一個跨性別者。 」
同時，她亦對這樣的說法有所抗拒，她認為「跨性別者」這個標籤並不算是一種認同（identity），充其量只是一種狀態（status）或屬性（attribute）。 她承認自己曾在男性的狀態下生活過一段時期，但那段時期是不願回首的夢魘。後來發現一直生活在錯誤的性別裡，造成了各種格格不入、隔閡與衝突。於是她決定殺掉自己，重新出生。她說，她並不是一個「生理男性」，她就是一個女性。

Young people in Taiwan are being exposed to pro-China content on TikTok which is influencing their identity and attitudes towards China
According to research, TikTok’s algorithm suggested a “disproportionately high ratio” of content favorable to the CCP compared with other apps such as Instagram or YouTube. Users of the platform tended to hold a significantly more favorable view of China’s human rights record

Must read explainer on Taiwan's constitutional crisis by Kharis Templeman
"...the current confrontation is a foreseeable consequence of Taiwan's constitutional framework, which despite going through several rounds of reforms is still an awkward mash-up of presidential and parliamentary features that isn't well-designed to handle periods of divided government."

Badiucao's cartoon shows Taiwan's vice-president Hsiao Bi-khim resisting China's attempts to intimidate her
Based on a true story: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/front/archives/2025/06/27/2003839324
"Taiwan’s vibrant and competitive democratic system has allowed for regular peaceful transfers of power since 2000, and protections for civil liberties are generally robust. Ongoing concerns include inadequate safeguards against the exploitation of migrant workers and the Chinese government’s efforts to influence policymaking, media, and the democratic infrastructure."
The organizers of the Tokyo International Choir Competition removed Taiwan's flag and changed the name under which Taiwanese teams competed after a Ch1nese complaint, and then removed the flags of all competing nations to address protests over its moves. The Nibun Chorus, a choir from Kaohsiung, won a gold medal.

Taiwan's support for Israeli settlements in the West Bank is at odds with its own struggle for recognition, writes Kerim Friedman
"Taiwan needs to stop acting as willing participants in Israel’s policide of Palestine. Silencing Palestinian voices will only hurt its own battle to be heard over Beijing."
