As a sexual minority, China's transgender community is under great pressure in social life, and transgender people tend not to be present in the common media as frequently as their peers in other countries. The progression of society and the development of Internet technology provide the cultural foundation and technical condition for transgender people to enter the public. This paper would discuss how has the image of transgender people changed in China’s common media and analyses the impact of the development of mass media on the transgender community. This study will further explore the history of Chinese transgender community and will further assist in considering the changing attitudes towards transgender people in Chinese society and the increasing acceptance of transgender.
