So I'm not up to date with biology and pharmacology - but how is not getting HRT actually causing deaths? The article doesn't mention the mechanisms behind this. So I'm left scratching my head.

Or is the chinese government rounding up transgender individuals and putting them into work camps/badly run prisons?

I have to assume that the answer is suicide which is tragically all too common in the trans community. They are denied basic medical care and the psychological pain is too much to bare. Tragically this mechanism of targeting trans people and, basically, encouraging their suicide is happening or is starting to happen in some western countries as well. I guess the world is united in this at least - hate for queer folk.
