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.
