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:

lisamelton.net/2023/06/22/my-c

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

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

@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.

@dgoldsmith Oh wow, that's fabulous! What trans girl wouldn't jump at that? 🥰

Also, congratulations! 🥳 Maybe I can get mine some fine day.

@dgoldsmith @lisamelton @Lana congrats (obviously belatedly on the surgery, but mostly on getting that date :D)
