This study explores the experiences of disabled female content creators on Chinese short video platforms. While these platforms provide new opportunities for visibility and income, they also expose creators to gender and disability-based narratives, algorithmic pressure, and sexual harassment. Using an intersectionality framework, this study focuses on how disabled women navigate empowerment and oppression in digital spaces.
