Connected Masculinities

Le résumé fourni par la source

The rise of anti-trans hate on digital networks, violence in public spaces, and the proliferation of anti-trans and anti-gender public policies and discourses by different political and social actors is having a direct impact on threats to the rights and lives of trans people. It is in this context of hate that it is explored how trans fathers in South America and South Europe construct and develop their masculinities through TikTok accounts. The digital narratives trans fathers use to represent their masculinities and the strategies they develop to express them are analysed. In addition, the concept of connected masculinities is proposed in order to understand the typology of masculinities that they develop on this digital platform and how they are constructed from a connected trans materiality. Finally, it points out how the accounts of trans fathers on TikTok are becoming digital communities of resistance and mutual support in the face of the geography of current anti-trans rage and reflects on the development of decolonial and trans-inclusive technologies.
