Resumen

El potencial de las redes sociales para crear espacios abiertos, colaborativos y participativos ha permitido involucrar y empoderar a las mujeres jóvenes en el activismo político y social. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación se centra en el análisis de la polarización que se produce en el debate de las redes sociales en la intersección entre la defensa del feminismo y de la transexualidad, preferentemente entre el público joven, simbolizada en el uso del calificativo «TERF». Para ello, se han analizado las comunidades existentes en Twitter y TikTok mediante técnicas de Análisis de Redes Sociales, y la presencia de los y las jóvenes en ellas. Los resultados indican que los debates en ambas redes son poco cohesivos, con una estructura altamente modularizada que sugiere aislamiento de cada comunidad en sí misma. Por todo ello, puede considerarse que el debate sobre la identidad sexual tiene como resultado una fuerte polarización del activismo feminista en las redes sociales. Asimismo, las posturas del feminismo transinclusivo son muy mayoritarias entre las personas jóvenes, lo que refuerza la idea de un debate ideológico en el seno del movimiento feminista que también puede entenderse en clave generacional. Por último, ha podido constatarse un uso diferencial entre ambas redes sociales, donde TikTok se muestra en esta temática como una red menos partisana y más dialógica que Twitter, pues conduce a discusiones y participaciones en un tono más neutro.
