Creating an identity in digital space can be important for how trans people learn about themselves, their communities, and the possibilities available to them. While the internet and digital space is not the only way of coming to understand oneself in a community, it is a space of liberatory possibility and creativity. There is room to invent what may not yet exist for gender on the edges of what many consider to be \"real.\" For many, digital life can be the site of play, joy, and connection –even while the internet is not a harm-free space nor universally available. This book seeks to understand the complexities at play in the digital realm and the implications that have for gender, digital life, and higher education.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cdiv\u003ePart I Logging On\u003cbr\u003e Introduction \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1 Searching for Ourselves Online \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part II Trans(form)ing Online\u003cbr\u003e 2 The Internet as Spatial \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3 The Internet as Temporal \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4 The Internet as Affective \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 5 The Internet as Sartorial \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 6 The Internet as Communal \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 7 The Internet as Visual \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Part III Prismatic Possibilities\u003cbr\u003e 8 The Multiplicity of Trans Life Online \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Notes \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e References\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52638407229720,"sku":"9781978822771","price":22.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/digital-me-trans-students-exploring-future-possible-selves-online-paperback-softback-9781978822771","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
