Raquel Reyes

Pioneering Trans Content Creator of the Early Web | Memoirist

Raquel Reyes is an early-internet transgender pioneer, writer, and digital model best known for her 2005 memoir Goddess, widely regarded as a cult-classic text and an essential artifact of early transgender representation online. Active primarily between the late 1990s and mid-2000s, Reyes became one of the first trans women to cultivate a significant digital following before the rise of social-media influencers. Her work is frequently examined within the contexts of early web culture, trans aesthetics, and digital self-fashioning. A fully restored 20th-anniversary edition of Goddess—together with newly curated archival materials—is currently being developed through Signal Found Productions and the Trans Wiki Project, initiatives that situate her contributions within contemporary LGBTQ+ studies, digital culture, and media history. An audio documentary series, Raquel Reyes and the Goddess Recordings, produced by Signal Found Productions and hosted by Ariana Scott, began streaming on iHeart Radio, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts in December 2025 and will continue streaming on podcast platforms in 2026.This website serves as the official and authoritative home of Raquel Reyes’s digital archive and ongoing restoration initiatives.
