Welcome to the Gender Diversity Wiki! This is an open platform dedicated to systematically organizing knowledge related to gender diversity. Gender Diversity refers to a broader range of gender identities and expressions beyond the traditional male-female binary, including transgender, non-binary, genderqueer, and other diverse groups.

This encyclopedia collects theoretical knowledge, historical research, cultural phenomena, and other long-term content, including: basic gender-related concepts, historical changes in gender-diverse communities, community cultural development, academic research findings, and artistic and literary expressions. We also focus on gender diversity issues and expressions in contemporary internet culture. It should be noted that this encyclopedia does not include specific medical resource information, handbooks, or guides with strong time sensitivity, nor does it constitute medical advice.

A research encyclopedia entry tracing how CCMD-3, ICD-10, ICD-11, national medical-technology rules, and hospital services overlap in mainland Chinese transgender care, with a diagnostic-migration ledger and four-clock model for distinguishing international classification, professional use, clinical interfaces, and regulation.

An annotated archive guide using Queer China, ‘Comrade’ China, Brothers, Sunken Plum, A Day of Trans, and The Last Year of Darkness to distinguish historical documentary, community documentary, fiction, trans-authored life documentary, and queer-scene documentary while tracing premieres, festivals, platforms, distribution, and retrospective screenings.

A source-critical guide that decomposes “first” claims in mainland China’s transgender medical history into procedure scope, geography, institution, publicity, administrative effect, event time, and source role, comparing the 1983 Zhang Kesha surgery, regional surgery histories of the 1990s, marriage registration in 2003, Geng Zi’s public identity in 2005–2006, and national technical rules from 2009 to 2022.

A research encyclopedia entry treating the 2017 Chinese Transgender Population General Survey as knowledge infrastructure, tracing its online recruitment, the path from 5,677 submissions to 2,060 valid questionnaires, later academic reanalysis, and comparison with the 2021 survey, with an evidence-infrastructure chain and number-provenance ledger.

An institutional archive guide to four decades of Peking University Third Hospital webpages, departmental histories, clinic guides, policy documents, clinical studies, and community-preserved copies, tracing how transgender medicine moved from a surgical case record to multidisciplinary care and research cohorts.

A historical-source guide that separates public self-identification and names, media labels, medical and administrative terms, and present-day editorial description, while tracking each naming event across time.

A research encyclopedia entry tracing legal gender recognition in mainland China through household registration, resident identity cards, gender appraisal, local public-security procedures, and downstream institutional records, with an original document-cascade model.

Using hospital records, media narratives, administrative rules, community hotlines, litigation and surveys, and digital archives, this study reconstructs mainland China’s transgender public history through six documentary regimes and a reproducible source-card method.

Using 2006 forum traces, a 2009 Tieba community anchor, a 2017 cross-platform index, and tags still active in 2026, this guide develops a three-clock evidence method for reconstructing the platform migrations, taxonomies, and community memory of Chinese transformation fiction.
