    If you’ve got a link to any sixth tone articles about this, that would be helpful. I’d like to read up on where things are at now.

      Here's a short article that argues there are reactionary motivations to the "sissy" thing. The whole website is good, and worth digging through. They have a tag for "gender" specifically, but there's a lot of interesting but critical coverage of a lot of things in there.

        Dope, thanks. It looks like the “sissy” aspect has also been tied in with the skin bleaching trend they were trying to counter because of how linked the two are. Unfortunate.
