I dunno if this is the right place for this, but I was curious. I joined Beehaw during the Great Reddit API migration, a few years ago at this point. I couldn't put a finger on why but I wanted to join a queer-friendly space. It just seemed like a good place to be, somewhere that seemed to have goals of inclusivity and being kind to one another that I thought sounded good. I wanted to belong somewhere like this place seems to want to be.

Then, years later, in Nov of 2024 my egg absolutely shattered and I came out to myself as trans. Then I just realized this morning that the timeline is kinda funny to me. Thought I'd ask and see how common that pattern was.

I did exactly the same! Joined Beehaw in 2023 because it seemed like a nice and cosy safe space, then my egg cracked a year later in June 2024. It's cool to see other people who did the same!

Apparently it's more common a story than I originally expected, ha! Thanks for chiming in :-)
