The establishment of Trans TV has played a pivotal role in the advancement of the television industry. When contrasting traditional television with Netflix, it becomes evident that traditional television exhibits a certain level of monotony, since its operational methods and forms remain consistent, resulting in a lack of novelty for viewers. A video streaming network such as Netflix has contributed significantly to the enhancement of diversity, resembling a fusion of conventional television and YouTube. Compared to traditional television, streaming platforms offer a more diverse and engaging range of content, thereby mitigating the potential monotony and boredom associated with the former. Additionally, streaming platforms exhibit greater consistency in comparison to YouTube, ensuring a more reliable viewing experience for users. The advent of Trans TV has resulted in a heightened level of content appeal, hence catering to the preferences of certain viewers. Trans TV aimed to explore the convergence of technological advancements and the television industry, specifically in relation to the content available on streaming platforms. The primary focus of this exploration was the representation and visibility of transgender, non-binary, and other queer individuals in many prominent television programs. Sense 8 serves as a quintessential illustration. This television series exemplifies the aforementioned concept on various dimensions, encompassing the inclusion and appreciation of transgender and queer individuals. The transnational context of the subject encompasses various countries, namely the United Kingdom, the United States, India, Nigeria, Germany, and Iceland. Therefore, the concept of eight individuals who are sympathetic and share profound connections, engaging with one another’s experiences at crucial points, might be interpreted as a subversive element within the program.

However, Goddard and Hogg have also highlighted that not all forms of Internet-distributed television can be regarded as an enhancement in terms of aesthetics. Additionally, they have noted the presence of numerous peculiar content within this medium. However, this approach also encompasses the process of television reform and innovation. In order to enhance the effectiveness of our programs in capturing audience attention, it is imperative that we explore various styles and content, hence conducting audience testing to ascertain their preferences. This approach will enable us to refine our programming strategies and ultimately deliver more compelling content to our target audience.

It is regrettable that numerous Asian countries lack films or television shows addressing transgender subjects due to divergent perspectives. It is imperative to incorporate diverse materials for experimentation. This is a potential avenue for the advancement of traditional Chinese television.
