 res how the rise of the internet shaped transgender identity and activism

 ransgender activists\, cross-dressing computer hobbyists\, and others inte

 tle: the ascendance of “transgender” as an umbrella identity in the mid-19
 90s. Through a history of how trans people online exploited different digi

  Dame-Griff explores a crucial part of trans history—illuminating how we a

 in a moment of moral panic.\n\nAvery Dame-Griff is a Lecturer in Women's a
