Out Online: Trans and Queer Community on the Early Net

How did the early internet help shape today's transgender identity and activism? Scholar and CHM Book Prize winner Avery Dame‑Griff joined us to discuss his book, The Two Revolutions: A History of the Transgender Internet, and explore the digital origins of a movement that began long before today’s social platforms existed. The conversation was moderated by Joshua K. Reason, Assistant Professor of Africana Studies, at San Francisco State University.This conversation was recorded on June 23, 2026, at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.
