Social computing technologies, such as social media sites, often privilege people
who fit within expected and unchanging categories. Thus, designing technology and social media
that meaningfully embraces transgender and non-binary identities is a particular
challenge. This line of research seeks to understand challenges and opportunities
related to trans experiences with social technologies. Examining the relationships between topics including
disclosure, self-presentation, emotional wellbeing, and social support for trans and/or
non-binary users via social technologies is fundamentally important on its own accord.
This research also informs technology design that will benefit people navigating
a wide range of marginalized identities and major identity changes online.
