Social media has become a viable platform for political participation in issues related to gender, especially among the youth. Evidence suggests that gender and sexual identities, digital access, and skills foster political participation in social media. This study sought to determine the predictive relationship of gender, digital profile, and social media competence with social media political participation in gender issues (SMPP-GI) among young Filipino netizens through the lenses of social identity theory and resource model of political participation. A total of 1,090 college netizens aged 18-30 years old participated in this cross-sectional study. An online survey was used to collect data. The respondents reported low to moderate levels of SMPP-GI. Females and non-cisheterosexual respondents report higher scores in certain types of SMPP-GI. Respondents using more social media sites have higher levels of latent and counter engagement SMPP-GI. Among the four domains of social media competence, content generation significantly predicted all types of SMPP-GI, while content interpretation and anticipatory reflection were significantly linked with at least one type of engagement.
社交媒体已成为参与与性别相关政治问题的一个可行平台，尤其是在年轻人当中。有证据表明，性别和性身份、数字接入及技能促进了在社交媒体中的政治参与。本研究试图从社会认同理论和政治参与资源模型的视角，确定性别、数字形象和社交媒体能力与菲律宾年轻网民在性别问题上的社交媒体政治参与（SMPP-GI）之间的预测关系。共有1090名年龄在18至30岁的大学生网民参与了这项横断面研究。通过在线调查收集数据。受访者报告的SMPP-GI水平较低至中等。女性和非异性恋受访者在某些类型的SMPP-GI中得分较高。使用更多社交媒体网站的受访者在潜在和反向参与的SMPP-GI方面水平更高。在社交媒体能力的四个领域中，内容生成显著预测了所有类型的SMPP-GI，而内容解读和预期反思与至少一种参与类型显著相关。
