GPT-3 横空出世以来，我已经看到过很多 LLM 帮助诊断不常见病症的故事了，但我没有想过有一天，这也会发生在自己身上。 - [Hypothesis: National Monopoly of AI | 人工智能的国家专卖设想](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2026/0417-ai-monopoly): China’s AI regulation resembles a state monopoly system, not because the state builds every model, but because it controls who may legally distribute them. - [一块煤炭](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2026/0415-coal): 欢乐的时光总是短暂，又到了和大家说再见的时候了。 - [When a Female Citizen Is Not Qualified to Use Gynecological Drugs | 当女性公民没有资格使用妇科药物](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2026/0328-e2-new-march): 在长征医院，锦旗的保质期大约 3 年。 - [A New Approach to Insomnia: Dayvigo Log | 安眠新思路：Dayvigo 用药观察](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2026/0312-dayvigo-log): Day and Vigorous - [China’s First Transgender Insurance Denial Case: AIA Life Loses Landmark Lawsuit | 全国首例变性人保险拒赔案！友邦人寿败诉，歧视性解约何以成立？](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2026/0307-reprint-aia-trans-lawsuit): Gender changed, policy voided? On what grounds can AIA unilaterally terminate contracts and deny routine medical claims?
性别改了，我的保单就不是我的了？友邦凭什么单方解约还拒赔常规医疗费？ - [Some Lovely Cards | 好看的卡片](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2026/0227-some-lovely-cards): Many cards, but not much money. 屌钱没有，屌卡一堆。 - [This Site Migrated to Astro | 本站迁移到了 Astro](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2026/0125-migrated-to-astro): This is the best framework for static site generation ever.

The incident not only led to legal disputes but also exposed AIA’s profound inconsistency between its public ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) commitments and its actual stance on diversity and inclusion. Although AIA ultimately lost the case in court, the company tolerated its employees’ misleading public remarks and refused to issue an apology, further undermining its credibility as a multinational insurer that claims to uphold equality and social responsibility. As the first publicly adjudicated case in mainland China involving the wrongful termination of an insurance contract against a transgender individual, it stands as a critical reflection on the authenticity of ESG practices within the global insurance industry. The author of this article is the plaintiff involved in the case. - [0x80070660: A Microsoft-Style Error](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2025/1216-0x80070660: A Microsoft-Style Error): Classic Microsoft: cryptic error codes from another dimension, fix straight out of the Stone Age. - [I Don’t Need Security Guards to Prove My Innocence | 我不需要保安给我清白](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2025/1201-我不需要保安给我清白): 清白是一种权力话语，而不是需要领取的物品。

This post documents the server environment, JVM arguments, and GraalVM JIT configuration I used. - [Let’s Find GraalVM for JDK 17](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2025/0925-Let's Find GraalVM for JDK 17): Java archaeology: Duke, I catch you! - [A Standard of Good University | 一个好的大学标准](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2025/0916-一个好的大学标准): After graduation, a frustrating encounter with the university administration made me realize this standard.

However, due to the rarity of such cases, the relevant legal provisions are not clearly defined in practical implementation. In cases involving surgeries performed abroad, individuals may be required to provide additional, unnecessary documentation. This article is based on my personal experience in navigating this process.
GAS (Gender-Affirming Surgery) 或 SRS (Sex Reassignment Surgery) 亦即性别肯定手术、性别重置手术 (俗称变性手术)。根据中国法律，变性手术后，公民的身份证号码和户口簿上的性别信息可以更新。但由于案例稀少，相关法律条款在实际操作中并不明确。对于境外手术的情况，可能会被要求出具其他不必要材料。这篇文章是我本人的实际经历。 - [Lawsuit Against Alibaba for Refusing to Update Real-Name Verification Records | 状告阿里巴巴拒绝更新实名认证案](https://carolyn.sh/blog/2025/0411-状告阿里巴巴拒绝更新实名认证案): After lawfully obtaining a female identification in China, my national ID number was updated accordingly. However, Xianyu, an app owned by Alibaba, refused to update my identity information, leaving me with no choice but to seek legal recourse.

While Chinese law does not prohibit transgender individuals from using the basic social medical insurance system to access hormone therapy, in practice, hospitals or social security offices often deny coverage for medications like estradiol. They commonly cite reasons such as "male identity cannot use female medications" or "off-label use not specified in the drug instructions". This article is based on my experience in 2023 communicating with hospitals and the Shanghai Medical Insurance Bureau regarding reimbursement issues. HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) 或者 GAHT (Gender-Affirming Hormone Therapy) 亦即激素替代治疗，是跨性别者在进行性别肯定手术前，通常会进行的激素治疗。中国法律并没有禁止跨性别者使用社会基本医疗保险进行激素替代疗法，但是在实际操作中，医院或者社会保障局会以「男性身份不能使用女性用药」或「使用说明未记载的用法」的理由拒绝跨性别者使用医保结算雌二醇等药物。这篇文章是我在 2023 年就医药报销问题与医院和上海市医保局沟通的经历。 --- # I Detected My Legs | 我找到了我的双腿 > URL: https://carolyn.sh/blog/2026/0601-new-legs > Ever since GPT-3 burst onto the scene, I’ve seen countless stories of LLMs helping diagnose rare conditions—but I never imagined it would happen to me.
