Intersectionality in the news: Recognizing current transgender women representations in Vietnamese online newspapers (Vnexpress, Thanh Nien, Dan tri)

By analyzing journalistic discourse in 118 articles collected from three major newspapers, including Vnexpress, Dân Trí, and Thanh Niên, our research findings show that the representation of transgender women in Vietnamese online news displays intersectional privileges, focusing on those who fit societal beauty standards and have successful careers. Through our online survey on public opinion (N=278), in-depth interviews with transgender women (N=10) and journalists (N=6), and analyzing comment sections in the articles, we discover that these dominant narratives in Vietnamese online news may create stereotypes, unnecessary pressures, and hinder the journey of seeking happiness for transgender women.
