If I remember correctly, the “effeminacy” thing China has been gunning against isn’t about gender expression as much as “idol culture”. I’ll see if I can find the threads I was reading on that from a queer activist in China.
As is typical, the western media happily jumped on trying to use this as a propaganda angle. The thread I was reading had some criticism of other policies because China isn’t a utopia, but it was pretty clear on the intent there.

Who should I contact about getting a CIA grant to pay for my makeup?

They mostly work with the big media types so technically most makeup youtubes are probably getting some juice from your tax money.
