How did the early internet help shape today's transgender identity and activism? Join CHM Book Prize winner and scholar Avery Dame‑Griff as he uncovers the digital origins of a movement that began long before today’s social platforms existed.
Drawing from his award-winning book, The Two Revolutions: A History of the Transgender Internet, Dame‑Griff reveals how early online spaces like bulletin boards and chat rooms became lifelines for people exploring gender beyond the limits of their offline worlds.
Here’s what you’ll experience:
<ul><li>Gain insights into how queer and trans people used and repurposed available technologies to build networks of support and visibility.</li><li>Explore how message boards, listservs, and online forums created spaces for identity formation, resource‑sharing, and activism.</li><li>Learn why understanding this digital past offers urgent context for today’s debates around trans rights, representation, and online culture.</li></ul>
