9w032230r2h	Lilly Watermoon	Constructing (Trans)Gender Identity in Online Contexts	2020		.txt	text/plain	294	5	6	This dissertation is comprised of three substantive sections, covering how the trans community constructs and justifies a definition of gender and how this definition both conflicts and aligns with definitions proposed by anti-trans groups, how Twitter's affordances for both personal expression and collective organization are utilized to foster within-community solidarity and how structural tensions within these affordances also work to undermine it, and the role that pervasive anti-trans opposition plays on influencing both the structural and emotional composition of the online trans community. This dissertation is a virtual ethnography examining the ways in which trans and nonbinary individuals construct, discuss, and do gender through the medium of online social networking services, specifically through Twitter.	cache/9w032230r2h.txt	txt/9w032230r2h.txt
