With the emergence of short video-sharing platforms, engagement with social media sites devoted to opinion and knowledge dissemination has rapidly increased. Among these 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 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 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：随着短视频分享平台的出现，致力于观点传播与知识分享的社交媒体参与度迅速提升。在这些平台中，TikTok是全球最受欢迎的社交平台之一，已成为跨性别与非二元性别群体的首选平台，他们形成了庞大的社群以分享个人经历并交流信息。当人们通过他人经历权衡自身经验与医学知识时，网络空间产生的知识会影响其对自身性别认同与过渡经历的理解方式。本文拓展了当前关于性别欣悦与性别焦虑的研究及既往访谈方法，通过分析TikTok在线社群对这两类性别体验的讨论内容与方式，发现性别欣悦与性别焦虑在网络空间中的描述存在差异。研究显示，在视频评论区与内容创作者的标签中，描述性别焦虑与性别欣悦的词汇具有相似性。最后，研究结果表明相较于性别焦虑，跨女性与跨男性经历对性别欣悦的描述更具相似性，而性别焦虑的描述则更显著地受到性别化体验与过渡目标的影响。我们希望本研究能为未来理解网络社群中跨性别与非二元性别个体的相关研究提供参考。
