But omg guys I met a really cool person yesterday and we spent four hours just talking and it was so great
So fun story - this person was a volunteer at the charity shop I was volunteering at but they were normally on a different day to me. They were a 16 year old lesbian, I was a 21 year old trans masc person, we had a great time chatting about Carmilla and queerness and it was just v lovely and life affirming. Never saw each other again after that shift and I moved away a few months later.
Anyway, fast forward 3 years to early 2019, I'm at a trans masc group in the city I now live in, the conversation has somehow ended up at Carmilla and I mention that I met Kathryn Alexander one time. One of the people I'm talking to says "oh yeah you told me about that in [charity shop]" and I just sit confused for a second before they start telling me about that day and omg I was so shocked. Turns out they had also moved to this city for university (the same one I go to!), come out as trans and been to a few of our meet ups without me even realising đ
