This working note examines the social media presence of Hijra and trans communities in Bangladesh. Visibility filters and representa-tion has created new forms of community making and empower-ment. Whilst some of this is created through self representation, this note also argues the role played by international bodies and neoliberal agendas in this creation of online identities. Through an exploration of digital identities, these working notes seek to enrich our understanding of queer, trans and hijra lives in Bangladesh and also help in envisioning radical possibilities of connection and identity.
