Abstract
Sophie Geppert (Birmingham City University) leads this discussion group and will explore transphobia and trans-misogyny on social media reviewing literature from existing criminological and gender study journals, chapters and papers to identify a gap in research that this dissertation fills. The research project centres heavily on, and was inspired by, Whipping Girl (Serano, 2007), Transphobic Hate Crime (Jamel, 2015) and “Not the Right Kind of Woman” Transgender women’s experiences of transphobic hate crime and trans-misogyny (Colliver, 2021). It also draws upon political ideologies, bringing in neoliberalism, in the aim to provide explanations for social hierarchies and the hierarchies within governmental institutions and police forces. It focuses on a case study, Dylan Mulvaney, and her comment section to discover the hate which unfolds on transgender women social media influencers aside from the “normal” online hate most influencers/celebrities endure.

Looking forward to seeing you all then!

Best Wishes,

Irene Zempi (She/Her)
