How did the early internet help shape today's transgender identity and activism? Join 91自拍 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.聽

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:

• Gain insights into how queer and trans people used and repurposed available technologies to build networks of support and visibility.
• Explore how message boards, listservs, and online forums created spaces for identity formation, resource-sharing, and activism.
• Learn why understanding this digital past offers urgent context for today's debates around trans rights, representation, and online culture.
