Abstract

The article deals with the problems of gender identity and its transformation under
the influence of modern communicative culture on the Internet. In recent years, bloggers have
been actively promoting gender issues in various social networks, drawing public attention to
the problems of gender relations, opportunities for self-improvement and promotion of oneself
as a person, regardless of social status, financial well-being, place of residence and cultural
stereotypes. The authors analyzed Twitter microblogs in order to determine the features and
traits of gender identity, to identify linguistic ways of self-expression of travel bloggers from
different countries of the world. Reflecting in their posts the cultural identity, the identity
not only of their country, but also of their places of residence, bloggers share topical issues,
revealing their own potential and thereby motivating people for personal growth and selfimprovement. The study points to some features of the microblogging language: minimization
of gender binding, the desire to reach male and female readers, as well as simplification of the
text language. Modern blog authors strive to destroy gender stereotypes by building a new
gender identity that can be open to the world, society and the person himself
