China's LGBT policy sucks (partially due to a culture where feudal family relations were not completely elided by Capitalism.) but this is a hack job.
It's mostly a slightly confused effort by the Chinese government (not the CPC proper, who internally have better LGBT policies from what I hear) to stop some of the idol-mania causing dangerous plastic surgery fads and similar, and they've latched onto the cultural surface symbols (which have some basic prejudice already present).
