These vlogs thus exemplify the various ways in which independent media acts as an educational tool toward greater awareness, and perhaps empathy, of/for the self and others in regards to sexual identity. In contrast, trans masculine produced YouTube vlogs, such as those discussed in this book, can help audience members unlearn the ways in which the continuum of sex, gender, and sexual orientation has been simplified and obscured through corporate media.
Analyzing and contrasting these narratives illuminates how even the most progressive of pop culture productions fail to present multi-dimensional transgender narratives, thereby intensifying stigma and shame for those outside of the binary (male or female, man or woman, gay or straight).
Grounded in qualitative methods, this book explores three trans masculine run YouTube channels alongside the streaming productions: The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Orange is the New Black, and Transparent. This book is an exploration of both mainstream and independent media. A conclusion and final thoughts will be given at the end of the term paper. It follows a narrative analysis, which means the analysis and interpretation of certain scenes of the episode that deal with the issue of transition on the basis of the theoretical approach explained in the previous chapter. This includes definitions of certain terms and explanations related to transition. First, the theoretical background and approaches on the issue of transgender will be explained. This paper will focus on how the transition of the transgender character Sophia Burset is represented in Season 1 Episode 3 "Lesbian Request Denied". The series is about the women's prison of Litchfield, its inmates and their different stories.
The primary source will be the Netflix series "Orange Is The New Black", created by Jenij Kohan and published in 2013, which deals with the topic "transgender".
