The film We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021) explores trans expression within an online environment. By comparing the film to the research of three gender theorists, motifs can be related to ideas such as the shimmer and glitch feminism. The film’s main character, Casey, is compared to the concept of the Terminator in how she defies the normative expressions of gender that created her within an online viral horror game. Later in the film, she encounters another online user who feels threatened by her gender expression, and how she can move freely in and out of the online space.
