Drawing from interviews with over 100 creators of trans technology, this talk examines how technology creates new possibilities for transgender people, how trans experiences, in turn, create new possibilities for technology, and trans technology’s possibilities, limitations, and future prospects.
Oliver Haimson is an Assistant Professor at University of Michigan School of Information, author of Trans Technologies (MIT Press 2025), and a social computing researcher focused on how marginalized individuals and communities use social technologies and envision future technologies.
