   Two years ago today I came out as #trans to my wife. I wrote a little about that when I came out to everyone here on Mastodon some months later:

   https://lisamelton.net/2023/06/22/my-coming-out-party/

   Since then it's been a struggle with divorce, moving, surgery and not being able to have surgery. And now my government is trying to erase me and my siblings.

   My only regret? That I didn't transition sooner. 🏳️⚧️✊

     @lisamelton @Lana My bottom surgery was on Leap Day—February 29, 2000. That kind of leap day only occurs once every 400 years. When I was offered the date I jumped at it.

     I transitioned legally on the Fourth of July, 2001 because I too possess a fine sense of cosmic irony.
