Analyzing transphobia in American society through the media: Part 1

What is something that you probably spend a lot of your day on but don’t get very much if anything out of? Social media is something that almost everyone has nowadays, whether it’s Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, etc. Almost everyone has some form of it.
