The rise of the World Wide Web, in contrast, opened new spaces outside of such corporate “walled gardens.” With the World Wide Web came a platform that, much like Tumblr, became an unintended trans technology: the homepage. Though largely abandoned as a social platform by the early 2000s, the homepage was the first large-scale format to offer space for identity exploration (Susan Driver Citation2005; Katherine Walker Citation2000). During its height, transgender users eagerly embraced the format.
