    TAKING ON THE ‘TIPPING POINT’: TRANSGENDER REPRESENTATION ACROSS POPULAR AND DIGITAL CULTURE By AJ Ripley Master of Fine Arts, University of Victoria, 2011 Bachelor of Arts, St. Thomas University, 2008 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Graduate Academic Unit of Interdisciplinary Studies Supervisor: Lauren Cruikshank, Ph.D., Dept. of Culture and Media Studies Examining Board: Chloë Brushwood-Rose, Ph.D., Faculty of Education, York University Sabine LeBel, Ph.D., Dept. of Culture and Media Studies Casey Burkholder, Ph.D., Faculty of Education External Examiner: Cael Keegan, Ph.D., Dept. of Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Liberal Studies, Grand Valley State University This dissertation is accepted by the Dean of Graduate Studies THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW BRUNSWICK April, 2020 © AJ Ripley, 2020 i ABSTRACT As more transgender images move from the shadows of intelligibility to mainstream media, the question of visibility remains critical. This dissertation explores examples of how transgender cultural production can highlight less visible transgender narratives already in circulation by examining the Amazon Prime television show, Transparent, and self-representations of transmasculinity across the Instagram hashtag #ftm and a 90-week Tumblr blog about gender transition entitled Trans Canada (My Way). This dissertation illustrates how these examples both adhere to and resist dominant discourses about transness in an effort to move beyond discerning between good and bad representation and instead to lobby for more and different transgender representation. Using the frameworks of critical transgender studies, media studies, queer theory and creative nonfiction, this dissertation explores the process of telling transness and considers how individuals use self- respresentation to exact agency over how their transgender identities and bodies are spoken of and for.
