Abstract
Video blogs are a highly popular way for people to narrate and share their experiences of gender confirmation surgery, hormone therapy and other modes of physical transition. Video bloggers use a variety of methods to mark the time it takes to transition, and to communicate the hardships caused by medical and legal barriers that slow down the process. This paper examines the ways that time and temporality are measured and crafted in video blogs of gender transition, and considers the relationship between physical, embodied and online temporalities as they converge in these forms of social media.
