Editing Taiwan Solidarity Union (section)

== Political position ==
The TSU was once described as left-wing progressive, but now supports right-wing conservative policies. The TSU is [[politically conservative]] and opposed to [[transgender rights]]. TSU's [[socially conservative]] stance sets it apart from other progressive Pan-Green political parties.<ref name="newbloommag">{{Cite news |date=December 19, 2023 |title=Taiwan Solidarity Union Positions Itself Against Trans Rights |url=https://newbloommag.net/2023/12/19/tsu-trans-rights/ |quote=The Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU), which currently holds no seats in the Legislative Yuan but has historically positioned itself as a politically conservative pan-Green party, has taken a stance against trans rights with recent actions. |access-date=March 18, 2025 |work=New Bloom Magazine }}</ref><ref name="taiwaninsigh">{{Cite news |date=December 9, 2024 |title=What Trump’s Election Means for Anti-Gender Mobilisation in Taiwan |url=https://taiwaninsight.org/2024/12/09/what-trumps-election-means-for-anti-gender-mobilisation-in-taiwan/ |quote=In the lead-up to the US presidential election, Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) Chairwoman Chou Ni-an (周倪安) published an op-ed proclaiming that “‘Conservative Values’ Will Be Significant Factor Deciding US Election.” Being self-described as a conservative Taiwanese independence party, TSU was the first minor political party in Taiwan to (unsuccessfully) attempt campaigning on a platform against transgender rights. |access-date=March 18, 2025 |work=Taiwan Insight }}</ref>
