English news everyday:Cross-dressing cosplay college boys in Wuhan.

【新闻背景】早有研究报道称，随着现代化的发展人类的行为也发生了一些变化，特别是城市的男女不同程度不同范围地发生了中性化倾向，既男性变得更加女性，女性变得更加男性。与农业时代或工业化时代不同，在信息时代性别特质不再是影响工作的主要因素，办公室工作不需要更强的体力、爆发力这些男性特质，相反女性的细致、耐心与冷静反而更适合这种工作。面对着越来越多的少男越来越少女化，许多人开始担忧起来。前几日闻听上海曾经的男校要重装开业，目的就是把男生和女生隔开来，让他们不要染上脂粉气。然而这种想法和做法肯定是不可能实现的。武汉各大学有特殊条件的男生达到了女性化的巅峰，他们（她们？）化装成女性在舞台上表演，引起了社会的广泛关注。
Report from Shanghaiist:

On Sunday, a group of soft-cheeked college boys decided to take a little break from their usual schedule of sleeping and playing Warcraft studying by putting on a cross-dressing cosplay extravaganza in the Hankou section of Wuhan.
Calling themselves the “Alice False Mother Group” (爱丽丝伪娘团), the outfit apparently has strict recruiting policies for new **, and ironically apply their idealized feminine beauty standards towards males interested in dressing up like wispy classical Chinese beauties.
Xiaolu, a junior majoring in accounting at South-Central University for Nationalities that serves as spokesperson for the transvestite hobbyists, says the group’s ** have to possess “long and thin legs, a frame that isn’t too burly, and a face that’s long enough to be delicate and handsome.”
With ** from schools like Wuhan University, Wuhan Textile University, Huazhong University of Science & Technology and Huazhong Normal University, the False Mothers claim that they’re just average males when they’re not on stage, with a red-blooded affinity for basketball and other sports.
The main difference apparently being that most of the males receive plenty of attention from girls due to their delicate and non-burly features, with most of the ** reporting they already have girlfriends. Incidentally, having access to girlfriends reportedly is a boon for when the boys need to learn how to walk in a ladylike manner, as well as teaching how to properly coo and mew while clutching stuffed animals.

Report China Daily:

Male students dressed up as models perform during an animation show in Wuhan, Central China’s Hubei province, April 8, 2012. About 20 male students from several universities in Wuhan formed a group to perform in various animation shows and became popular locally. Each student makes on average 500 yuan for one show, Wuhan Evening News reported. A member, who wanted to be identified as Hao Ge, said he learned to act feminine in speaking and walking from his girlfriend. “This is only a temporary student group and we will not continue this job after graduation,” the group has announced.
