Unfortunately, Hexbear's domain is blocked in China, just like most non-Chinese social platforms. Moreover, abandoning WeChat is extremely difficult—even for those without a social life. Since companies tend to use WeChat rather than email for hiring and work communication, giving up WeChat is tantamount to career suicide. During the COVID pandemic, without scanning the "health code" via WeChat, you couldn't even step outside your residential compound.

Maybe I'm missing the vibe here, but are you guys still talking about the subject of this post? If so, just a heads-up: all three apps mentioned in the title have been banned in China for well over a decade.

Thank you for sharing the link; I think it will be very useful in many situations. At the moment, I’m not familiar with the stance of professional labs in China or the relevant procedures, and I don’t seem to have come across any cases where people have sought their assistance for testing. Since I’ve noticed that more and more people are choosing to make their own gels, perhaps trying to arrange for testing is a good suggestion.

Chinese transwoman here, and I share similar concerns.

On the black market in China, the main hormone medications available to transgender women are Progynova from Thailand, Androcur from Turkey, and Progynon from Japan. Due to the deterioration of China-Japanese relations following Takaichi Sanae’s appointment, the price of Progynon skyrocketed a while back; and because of the Turkish government’s recent anti-LGBTQ+ policies, I’ve heard that transgender people in Turkey are also having a hard time getting Androcur—though it’s still available on the black market here, I’m not sure how the situation will develop in the future; Although the military conflict between Thailand and Cambodia a while back ultimately did not escalate, it still caused me great concern. I do not want anyone to die in war anywhere, at the same time, due to China’s strict gatekeeping policies regarding bottom surgery, Thai hospitals remain the only option for many Chinese transgender individuals who lack parental support to undergo surgery and change the gender on their IDs. Some people are also worried that if war breaks out in the Taiwan Strait, China might adopt even harsher anti-LGBT policies like Russia’s. However, in such a scenario, medication probably wouldn’t be the top priority anyway.

Regarding homemade medications, after China issued a ban on the online sale of hormonal drugs in late 2022, some transgender individuals, fearing further restrictions, began purchasing industrial-grade estradiol to experiment with. Due to safety concerns, homemade injections and oral medications have been met with resistance within the community. However, some people still produce estradiol gel, believing that hormones absorbed through the skin allow for more impurities to be filtered out.

any video that correctly refers to a trans person’s gender would fail content review.

This assertion by Muyuan is actually questionable, because Bilibili was previously unaware of Yanzhenzhen’s legal gender, and the only thing that truly triggers the platform’s censorship system is transgender identity. In other words, whether she is referred to as a “girl” or a “boy” makes no difference here, and no one would go so far as to verify the gender marker on the ID of someone who has already passed away.

As for Wenrou, I believe the assessment of him as an “Ally who is not perfect” is fair, even though I disagree with the final course of action. His behavior was still strategic, even if it may have been a flawed strategy.

As for the other person mentioned in the post, Xiaoer, due to his ongoing attacks on the transgender community and individuals for over a year, some have indeed questioned why he would participate in rescue efforts (not just for transgender people—their rescue efforts actually involved more cisgender individuals). Some have even uncovered suspicious records from his time in Australia, suspecting him of being an informant for Chinese authorities, deliberately sent to sow division within the community. Whether or not this counts as a conspiracy theory, it is ironic that accusing someone of wanting to “divide the community” without sufficient evidence often leads to even greater division.

While gathering information for this post, I discovered that although they haven’t publicly broken ties, Muyuan mentioned that their actual collaboration with Xiaoer had ceased a year ago. Yet mistrust has once again taken root in this community rife with anxiety and internal strife. The recent incident involving Wenrou, which could have been resolved through peaceful negotiation, has instead descended into chaos—a situation I personally believe is not unrelated to the scars left by past disputes.

The following message comes from the Telegram channel of the poster Seele shown in the third image:

https://t.me/seele/_meow/81

It is reported that Seele’s Twitter account @siyu060910 was investigated by the Wuhan State Security Bureau on 1 May for long-term involvement in community work and anti-disipline-school activities. Subsequently, on the afternoon of 25 May, she was summoned in her hometown of Dangyang on the grounds of ‘circumventing the Great Firewall’. In reality, the questioning continued to focus on community activities and discipline schools, with the investigation placing particular emphasis on alleged infiltration by foreign forces. However, as Seele had no actual contact with these so-called foreign forces, the local police could only use “circumventing the Great Firewall” as a pretext for the summons. Subsequently, despite her objections, the local police demanded that she remain in the area. However, due to deep-seated conflicts with her family, she posted details of the situation on her QQ qzone (ID: 2591773908). Additionally, her Twitter account, Seele@siyu060910, has been ordered to be deactivated and must not be reactivated for thirty days. Although this account is shared by multiple users, for the sake of her personal safety, it is unlikely to be used again. Seele herself is currently unable to access overseas software. — Channel Administrator.

Update: Muyuan's X account has been reactivated
