Gwendolyn Ann Smith has been an advocate for the transgender community for most of her adult life, with a focus on the trans community on the internet, as well as in honoring those we have lost due to anti-transgender violence.
Starting in 1992, she lobbied America Online, getting the company to change its policies and allow discussions on gender issues on their service. This led to the creation of the first public forum on a major online service — the Transgender Community Forum — one year later. This service allowed thousands of transgender people worldwide to connect on a daily basis.
With the rise of the World Wide Web, Gwen began to provide web management for many within the community, creating sites for the Southern Comfort Conference, for transgender photographer Loren Cameron, and many others, pioneering the early transgender web. She is still involved on transgender internet projects, serving as the managing editor for Genderfork.
