This comes from a long back and forth I had with the folks on hexbear on their news megathread (here and here).

For ya'll owns benefit I made an excerpt of the important points:

Relevant academic article titled “LGBT Advocacy and Transnational Funding in Singapore and Malaysia" on Pink Dot SG.

First we look at TransgenderSG On the first home page:

17 March 2021: Read the press release on the Universal Periodic Review report that we co-submitted with Sayoni and the Asia Pacific Transgender Network.

Ah the infamous Asian Pacific Transgender Network.

Some of their sponsors include the Robert Carr Fund and the Global Equality Fund.

Robert Carr Fund gets its money from:

I searched the Global Equality Fund and found it on www.state.gov of all places. Oh very nice.

It's nice that Google also funds APTN to really drive home that the US is a dictatorship of Capital.

The rest of these orgs:

TheProjectX - an NGO that wants to legalize sex work lol. No further comment.

The T Project:

The founder and director "participated in the U.S Department of State's International Visitor Leadership programme in 2018" and also "ILGA-Asia", oh you mean the sister branch of ILGA-Europe. (ILGA-Asia suspciously does not list any source of their funding...)

and ILGA World

Their Co-Secretary General: "Mexican Microfinance Institutions" (LOL), "MacArthur Foundation", "EXXON MOBIL" <-- now that's funnier.

Their other Co-Sec General: "Global Interfaith Network on Sex, Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity and Expression (former Co-Chair)" the org in which has funding from:

Oogachaga has this to say about their own website:

Yes, the NGO is sponsored by the High Commission of Canada and is transparent about it.

The jokes write themselves. It's like a russian nesting doll of NGO and Western fuckery.

As a counter argument I’d think that any organization or activist that is founded like this would be highly suspicious to the local governments, so they can’t really be effective.

I mean the existence of these orgs is enough for the West to cry foul "authoritarianism" or "muh freedom" or "LGBT oppression 😢 " if the global south government tries banning them.

See Belarus, Armenia, China or Russia lol.

Unfortunately many of the governments are themselves pocketed by the West and these NGOs ensure "discipline" of Global South governments so they do not stray too far from the neoliberal programme.
