Welcome to the China Transgender Survivor Network
The China Transgender Survivor Network(CTSN) is a non-governmental organization committed to advancing the rights, dignity, and freedom of transgender individuals of Chinese origin who are living in diaspora. Our mission is to promote equality, human rights, and the well-being of transgender people through peaceful and democratic means.
What We Do:
We operate the largest Mastodon instance dedicated to the Chinese transgender community, MtF Party (https://hub.mtf.party), boasting a user base of over 600 individuals.
We are deeply involved in suicide prevention efforts across Mainland China. It is our core mission to deter suicide attempts among transgender individuals and, in situations where a suicide attempt has occurred, we mobilize to provide necessary medical support and organize rescue missions. In the year 2023, we have been managing over 700 cases related to suicide intervention and rescue operations, which equates to approximately two cases daily.
We tirelessly advocate for the fundamental human rights of transgender individuals, whether they reside in China or hail from there originally. Our aim is to illuminate the current conditions faced by transgender people in China for the global community.
Our Vision
We envision a world in which transgender individuals from China can live authentically and without fear, fully embracing their gender identity and expression, while enjoying the same rights and opportunities as all other citizens.
Our Aims
- To advocate for the rights and recognition for situation of transgender individuals with a Chinese descent, in China and abroad.
- To facilitate the sharing of resources, information, and support for transgender individuals and their allies for life saving rescue missions.
- To collaborate with global human rights organizations to push for policy reform and the protection of transgender rights in China.
