Abstract
The purpose of this article is to explore how gender identity is shown and communicated on Instagram in both English and Uzbek contexts. It looks at the words people use, the types of photos they post, and the messages they share. By comparing English and Uzbek Instagram users, this study aims to show how culture affects gender representation and how social media can both challenge and support.
