With the emergence of short video-sharing platforms, engagement with social media sites devoted to opinion and knowledge dissemination has rapidly increased. Among the short video platforms, TikTok is one of the most popular globally and has become the platform of choice for transgender and nonbinary individuals, who have formed a large community to mobilize personal experience and exchange information. The knowledge produced in online spaces can influence the ways in which people understand and experience their own gender and transitions, as they hear about others and weigh that experiential and medical knowledge against their own. This paper extends current research and past interview methods on gender euphoria and gender dysphoria to analyze what and how online communities on TikTok discuss these two types of gender experiences. Our findings indicate that gender euphoria and gender dysphoria are differently described in online TikTok spaces. These findings indicate that there are wide similarities in the words used to describe gender dysphoria as well as gender euphoria in both the comments of videos and content creators' hashtags. Finally, our results show that gender euphoria is described in more similar terms between transfeminine and transmasculine experiences than gender dysphoria, which appears to be more differentiated by gendering experience and transition goals. We hope this paper can provide insights for future research on understanding transgender and nonbinary individuals in online communities.

翻译：摘要：随着短视频分享平台的兴起，专注于观点与知识传播的社交媒体参与度迅速提升。在短视频平台中，TikTok是全球最受欢迎的之一，并已成为跨性别与非二元性别个体的首选平台——他们在此形成庞大社群，分享个人经验并交流信息。线上空间产生的知识会影响人们理解和体验自身性别及性别过渡的方式，因为他们会倾听他人的经历，并将这些经验性与医学性知识与自身情况进行权衡。本文拓展了现有研究及过往访谈方法，针对性别欣快与性别烦躁两大主题，分析TikTok在线社群讨论这两种性别体验的内容与方式。研究结果表明，TikTok线上空间中性别欣快与性别烦躁的描述存在差异；同时，视频评论与内容创作者的话题标签中，描述性别烦躁与性别欣快的话语存在广泛相似性。最终结果还显示，与性别烦躁相比，性别欣快在跨女性与跨男性体验的描述上具有更高的一致性，而性别烦躁则更易因性别体验与过渡目标的不同而产生分化。我们希望本文能为未来理解在线社群中跨性别与非二元性别个体的研究提供启示。
