This wasn't a thing even 10 years ago. It came from the legalization of gay marriage.

Social media.


Tumblr.


Being serious, tumblr allowed trans bloggers because their stuff was deemed medical instead of pornographic. It became a big space for the intersectional bs that females spew.


Most of you dont know this because you arent females that were on tumblr.


Just search trans and tumblr.

Tumblr was a trans technology: the meaning, importance, history, and future of trans technologies

Building from previous researchers’ conceptions of queer technologies, we consider what it means to be a trans technology. This research study draws from interviews with Tumblr transition bloggers (n = 20), along with virtual ethnography, trans theory, and trans technological histories, using Tumblr as a case study to understand how social technologies can meet the needs of trans communities. Tumblr supported trans experiences by enabling users to change over time within a network of similar others, separate from their network of existing connections, and to embody (in a digital space) identities that would eventually become material.
