A friend recently made me aware of the fact that Falun Gong-backed Epoch Times is running anti-trans ads on the videos of pro-trans YouTubers, and so I’m trying to dig in and find out more about where their money is made. Also, does anyone know of an easy way to obtain this paper?: https://www.pdcnet.org/jrv/content/jrv_2020_0008_0003_0298_0307?file_type=pdf
I couldn't find a non-paywall'd version of the paper you linked, but if you follow through the links in this article there's a lot of good resources:
