And now, back to Pride month the way I'm used to it. 😅

This goal is ultimately what led to me making/posting Lattice. I don't have the ability to do much else, but I can make art and share my experience so people don't feel so alone in theirs.

It is so frustrating that I'm getting into a Pride arc right after the month ends! The comic happens by chance to line up with so much other IRL stuff, why is it never this?! 😅

But hey, this update marks Lattice's third anniversary! It's been amazing to make this comic and talk with all of you about our shared experiences! Here's to many more years to come! 😁

A spaghetti and meatball dinner has continued to be my little anniversary celebration every June 3rd! 😄
(It frustrates me how close this arc was to being temporally aligned, but just missed the mark.)

I normally drink about 4 liters of water every day, so going without really was the worst part of surgery for me. 😅

I know it's a little anticlimactic, but this was how I actually experienced the surgery; which is to say that I didn't. 😂

The time has come!
(And I'll bet a lot of people forgot it's a wig! 😁)

Ah, the eternal debate of who to tell what and why...

For the few of you out there trying to keep track of my timeline, I actually got my first wig pretty soon after this and before the surgery itself.

I considered including a copy of my actual Letter of Recommendation with this update, but realized that could probably cause some professional or legal problems. 😅

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for circumventing a broken institution like US healthcare, but I don't want to cause any issues for Flourish or Rebirth.

Serious kudos to anyone who recognizes that episode of TNG from just these adapted screenshots! It was my first significant exposure to the idea of conversion therapy, and it definitely lengthened my time in the closet.

And yeah, of course I've had that dream. 😅
