Opposing social movements are groups that have conflicting objectives on a shared social justice issue. To maximize the probability of their movement's success, groups can strategically portray their group in a favourable manner while discrediting their opposition. One such approach involves the construction of victimization discourses. In this research, we combined topic modelling and critical discursive psychology to explore how opposing groups within the feminist movement used victimization as a lens to understand their movements in relation to transgender women. We compiled a dataset of over 40,000 tweets from 14 UK‐based feminist accounts that included transgender women as women (the pro‐inclusion group) and 13 accounts, that excluded transgender women (the anti‐inclusion group). Our results revealed differences in how victimization was employed by the opposing movements: pro‐inclusion groups drew on repertoires that created a sense of shared victimhood between cisgender women and transgender women, while anti‐inclusion groups invoked a competitive victimhood repertoire. Both groups also challenged and delegitimised their oppositions' constructions of feminism and victimhood. These findings add to our understanding of the communication strategies used by opposing movements to achieve their mobilization goals.

通过社交媒体上反对女权主义子群体来理解受害话语的混合方法


反对的社会运动是在共同的社会正义问题上具有冲突目标的团体。为了最大限度地提高他们运动成功的可能性，团体可以战略性地以有利的方式描绘他们的团体，同时诋毁他们的反对派。其中一种方法涉及构建受害话语。在这项研究中，我们结合了主题建模和批判性话语心理学，探讨了女权主义运动中的对立群体如何使用受害作为镜头来理解她们与跨性别女性相关的运动。我们汇编了一个数据集，其中包含来自 14 个英国女权主义账户的 40,000 多条推文，其中包括跨性别女性（支持包容团体）和 13 个排除跨性别女性（反包容团体）的账户。我们的结果揭示了对立运动在如何利用受害方式上的差异：支持包容的团体利用了在顺性别女性和跨性别女性之间创造共同受害者意识的曲目，而反包容团体则援引了竞争性的受害者曲目。这两个团体还挑战了他们的反对派对女权主义和受害者身份的建构，并使之失去了合法性。这些发现增加了我们对对立运动为实现其动员目标而使用的沟通策略的理解。
