Men With Hijab: Menetapkan Kejamakan Identitas Gender CrossHjaber di Media Sosial

Abstrak

Rejection of cross-hijaber is typical of societies with traditional gender
ideologies in Indonesia. In Indonesia, cross-hijaber is stigmatized with
criminal, psychiatric, and sexual disorders, as well as identity crises. This
study examines how cross-hijaber displays his identity in the public and
private spheres via social media, both communally and individually. Crosshijaber social identity and cross-hijaber personal identity are examined in
greater detail in this study. Using a virtual ethnographic method, the study
examined cross-hijaber on a Facebook group. The results of the study reveal
the diversity and complexity of cross-hijaber identities in social media
interactions. The distinction between social and personal identities is no
longer distinct because the two can exchange positions depending on context.
When cross-hijabers begin to wear their hijab, their cisgender identities will
be concealed. Even cross-hijaber identity is fluid based on the social context.
Otherwise, when they become cisgender, the cross-hijaber identity will not be
displayed.
