This paper investigates links between disinformation, digital echo chambers and transphobia on social media by examining transphobic memes found on X. A codebook analysis of 50 transphobic memes was conducted to uncover underlying themes. Those themes were disinformation, miscontextualization, and trolling, which reinforce harmful stereotypes. The research reveals that most of the content online relies on false information to normalize hate. These findings underscore the urgent need for improved digital literacy to counter online transphobia effectively in digital spaces.

For a class called "Intercultural Communication" I studied the communication between mainstream culture and queer culture. Specifically looking into queer slang and how much of today's mainstream slang originated in queer culture, especially NYC ballroom culture.

For a class called "Disinformation and Media", I created a case board showing just how disinformation by the media works. Choosing to focus on the myth that AIDS is a "gay disease", I visualized the connections between a New York Times article from 1981, homophobic US senators, purposefully ignored medical research and how that leads to the still existing idea that AIDS equals gay.
