Gender online

Im really intrested in the concept of online gender changes, how people like to represent themselves as the opposit sex whilst on the interenet. I wonder if those who choose to go out in drag stay in in drag. In terms of exploring the concept of identitity i feel this could be a fruitful path to go down. I recently spoke to a friend whos ex boyfriend from New York was performing in his all gay electro group in London this month. This mand made his rent money however not by being in a band but by pretending to be a girl on online 'sexy' chat rooms, talking to straight men who log on wanting female prevocative conversation. This lead me to think about sexuality and how indoviuals represeent themselves online and off. i want to do some academic reading on the subject, starting off with Judith Butler and her work on Queer Theory.
