Within the community there are several deviations with different categories. One of the deviations in society related to gender can be recognized through the transgender phenomenon. The term transgender is given to individuals who feel that their gender identity is different from their own identity, so that they look and have a lifestyle with a gender that is felt to be in accordance with their identity, whether or not there is a sex change operation. This research focuses on the social construction of transgender acceptance in the Muslim community in South Jakarta. Therefore, this study aims to determine how transgender people can be accepted in the Muslim community in Indonesia with social construction. This type of research uses qualitative research and phenomenological methods. Researchers collected data through interviews with transgender people and religious experts. After conducting interviews, the authors concluded that with regular interactions and meetings, society would be able to accept transgender people by getting to know the person more deeply and going through the process.Di dalam lingkup masyarakat terdapat beberapa penyimpangan dengan kategori yang berbeda-beda. Salah satu penyimpangan di masyarakat terkait jenis kelamin dapat dikenal melalui fenomena transgender. Istilah transgender diberikan kepada individu  yang merasa bahwa identitas kelaminnya berbeda dengan identitas dirinya, sehingga mereka berpenampilan dan memiliki gaya hidup dengan kelamin yang dirasakan sesuai dengan identitas dirinya, dengan adanya maupun tidak adanya operasi penggantian kelamin. Penelitian ini berpusat terhadap konstruksi sosial penerimaan transgender pada masyarakat beragama islam di Jakarta Selatan. Maka dari itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana kaum transgender dapat diterima di masyarakat beragama islam di Indonesia dengan konstruksi sosial. Jenis penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian kualitatif dan metode fenomenologi. Peneliti mengumpulkan data melalui wawancara dengan kaum transgender dan ahli agama. Setelah melakukan wawancara, penulis menyimpulkan bahwa dengan adanya interaksi dan pertemuan secara berkala, maka masyarakat akan bisa menerima  transgender  dengan mengenal orang itu lebih dalam lagi dan melewati prosesnya.

The legacy of the social construction of race, class, and gender within the social construction of smartness and identity in US schools are synthesized utilizing meta-ethnography. The study examines ethnographies of smartness and identity while also exploring what meta-ethnography has to offer for qualitative research. The analyses demonstrate that race, class, and gender are key factors in how student identities of ability or smartness are constructed within schools. The meta-ethnography reveals a better understanding of the daily, sociocultural processes in schools that contribute to the denial of competence to students across race, class, and gender. Major themes include epistemologies of schooling, learning as the production of identity, and teacher power in shaping student identities. The results are significant in that new insights are revealed into how gender, class, and racial identities develop within the daily practices of classrooms about notions of ability.

After reviewing the use of isolation in US prisons and public restrooms to confine transgender people in solitary cells and single‐occupancy bathrooms, I propose an explanatory theory of eliminative space. I argue that prisons and toilets are eliminative spaces: that is, spaces of waste management that use layers of isolation to sanctify social or individual waste, at the outer and inner limits of society. As such, they function according to an eliminative logic. Eliminative logic, as I develop it, involves three distinct but interrelated mechanisms: 1) purification of the social center, through 2) iterative segregation, presuming and enforcing 3) the reduced relationality of marginal persons. By evaluating the historical development and contemporary function of prisons and restrooms, I demonstrate that both seek to protect the gender binary through waves of segregation by sex, race, disability, and gender identity. I further argue that both assume the thin relationality of, in this case, transgender people, who are conceived of as impervious to the effects of isolation and thus always already isolable. I conclude that, if we are to counter the violence of these isolation practices, we not only need to think holistically about eliminative spaces and logic, but also to richly reconceptualize relationality.

This article discusses Indonesian cyber society active­ties and its configuration on social media which considered being able to encourage social movements, for instance Defen­ding Islam Action, subsequently well known as ‘Defending Islam Action 212’. This article argues that netizens' activities on social media turned out to involve various class variants and social status and are able to encourage the ' Defending Islam Action’. Moreover, the social formation and activities of netizens on the social media constitute the prospects for the social construction of the cosmopolitan Muslim community in Indonesia. The portrait of Indonesian cosmopolitan Muslim is seen as a cong­re­gation of citizens compelled by their religious awareness, regardless of social, political, economic boundaries and even inter-religiosity which reveres universal principles of humanity.

The COVID-19 virus was declared by WHO as a pandemic towards the beginning of 2020. As a result, Indonesia also implemented physical distancing nationally. This condition was responded to quite diverse by the community, one of which was in Tanggulwelahan Village, Tulungagung Regency. Myth is actually an alternative that people use in addressing these conditions. Therefore, researchers apply qualitative research methods (phenomenology) to explain the social construction of myths in the efforts of local communities to deal with COVID-19. Based on the results of interviews, observations, and analyzes using social construction theory the following results are obtained. "Buto" figure is a sacred symbol for the community because it is believed to have supernatural strength so that it can banish various outbreaks of disease. This understanding was formed through the process of externalization, objectification, and internalization that has been going on for generations. Meanwhile, medical information related to COVID-19 is new knowledge, so it is difficult to replace the old knowledge of society which is actually a myth.

‘Gender’, understood as the social construction of sex, is a key concept for feminists working at the interface of theory and policy. This article examines challenges to the concept which emerged from different groups at the UN Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, September 1995, an important arena for struggles over feminist public policies. The first half of the article explores contradictory uses of the concept in the field of gender and development. Viewpoints from some southern activist women at the NGO Forum of the Beijing Conference are presented, Some of them argued that the way ‘gender’ has been deployed in development institutions has led to a depoliticization of the term, where feminist policy ambitions are sacrificed to the imperative of ease of institutionalization. ‘Gender’ becomes a synonym for ‘women’, rather than a form of shorthand for gender difference and conflict and the project of transformation in gender relations. ‘Gender sensitivity’ can be interpreted by non-feminists as encouragement to use gender-disaggregated statistics for development planning, but without consideration of relational aspects of gender, of power and ideology, and of how patterns of subordination are reproduced. A completely different attack on ‘gender’ came from right-wing groups and was battled out over the text of the Platform for Action agreed at the official conference. Six months prior to the conference, conservative groups had tried to bracket for possible removal the term ‘gender’ in this document, out of opposition to the notion of socially constructed, and hence mutable, gender identity. Conservative views on gender as the ‘deconstruction of woman’ are discussed here. The article points out certain contradictions and inconsistencies in feminist thinking on gender which are raised by the conservative backlash attack on feminism and the term ‘gender’.
