- Abstract
Transgender people have undergone unjust treatments due to the traditional social judgment standards of the male and the female as a minor social group, which won a lot of attention in the years of the internet. This literature review focuses on the negative impact of social media on transgender people’s self-identity in East Asia society. After collecting 16 convincing articles and documents on Google scholar, this systematic literature review lists the problems that transgender people are waiting to overcome on the internet, which also offers evidence of practical reference significance which manifests the difficulties that transgender people currently encounter not only for legislative institutions but also for individuals to narrow the gap between the public and the transgender people in East Asia with actual actions. The analysis of this literature review finds that the social dilemmas which now transgender people bear on the internet can be classified into two aspects; social one, which can be explained that double consciousness and dual identity that is cultivated in the mind of the transgender people in East Asia, forcing them to balance between society, and themselves and the internal one, which they simultaneously may receive social prejudice due to their transgender identity which conflicts with the traditional social concept that wants them to fit the social expectation and challenges traditional definition of the radical feminism as well in society. Under the combination of two aspects, exposing their sex orientation to the public is dangerous for transgender people on the internet, which will further diminish their living space and receive cyberbullying due to the problems mentioned above.
