## Resource

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.
