Why did Republicans fund 'transgender dance' in Bangladesh? - The Grayzone

This bit says the thing I think:
According to documents obtained by The Grayzone, the US-funded International Republican Institute sees gay and transgender people as uniquely disruptive actors who can be deployed to manipulate political realities overseas, stating, “LGBTI people tend to participate in social change activities to eventually bring changes to politics.”
Because transgender dance is awesome. :duh:
