Using a transdisciplinary approach, we triangulated data from desk research, a qualitative survey of voters’ experiences, social media scraping of hashtags (#MAGA, #TradWife, #YourBodyMyChoice), and expert interviews from fields including computational social science, social media research, and online extremism. Our findings reveal that gender serves as a powerful ideological an¬chor around which political identities form, where social media can act as an accelerant to these processes, albeit not a causal relationship. We identify specific themes around which this relationship is explored, including the employment of ‘traditional roles’, the spectrum of feminism being redefined, the collapse of boundaries be¬tween online and offline spaces, the predominantly emotional na¬ture of gender-based political discourse as well as the mechanisms through which platform architectures can influence polarization. The report concludes with evidence-based intervention pathways addressing platform and algorithm design, human moderation, and community-based digital literacy approaches to mitigate harmful polarization while preserving democratic deliberation.
