A shutdown very well spent!

The full remote time during the pandemic allowed me to slowly update my profile pic for work until people started asking me what my pronouns were.

I was getting ready to come out to my sister in like late 2021, she had a really bad motorcycle accident and we were catching up and it seemed like the right time to tell her.

then she started talking about how a near death experience made her start re-evaluating some things, and then she came out to me and it was the fucking spiderman pointing meme. Both of us moved to WFH after covid hit so the timing makes sense, but it was such a wonderful coincidence.

I started transitioning 2 years before the pandemic, but it was still nice to be at home and not having to deal with people in person. Lots of people were and still are not very accepting of my transition.

I got bottom surgery about a year into the pandemic, that was, well a really brutal time because I also had bedbugs, moved, and returned to work in the same 6 week timeframe
