Thanks for letting me know. If this was the only source, I would have breathed a sigh of relief at it just being :cia: propaganda, but unfortunately state-owned media Sixth Tone has corroborated this information over several of their articles, so it does seem to be true, at least the parts regarding the regulations against homosexuality, feminine men, and GNC AMABs.
