Tittle: How Tiktok became a haven for queer and questioning kids

1. What is news about? (what/how/who/where/when/why… ?) (in about 50


words)

The article is the answer to those who wonder why Tiktok became a haven
for queer and questioning kids. Simply because Tiktok has a new filter called
Blue & Red. This filter can transform the user's face into masculine features
or feminine features. In particular, the user can switch both easily. This has
created excitement and fascination with many young people using it. More
importantly, it is also an answer for us about our own gender question.
Besides, they can also connect with each other, and become a community.
Unlike Facebook or Instagram, we don't necessarily connect with people we
know. That can help them feel more comfortable and free. So Tiktok can be
the key to helping more people understand their gender and be made in the
most comfortable way.

2. What can you learn from the news?

Through the article, it helped me better understand the advantages of Tiktok


that can attract social network users. Especially those who want to learn
about their gender or sexual identity. Or as part of entertainment. It really is
a place that can help many people feel free, comfortable and be themselves.
