And so my first question is, what is your experience of disability, if you have any, whether that be in your body or whether that be in – with a friend, a partner, a lover? Yeah,

I actually had this, this kind of came to me sort of recently.

I mean, it's, I don't know if I would say it's a disability.

It's certainly changed my life, but, uh, I, I think because of long COVID, I ended up developing atrial fibrillation.

And so I've had to have one ablation and an ablation is like a procedure on your heart.

And then, uh, I, it sort of didn't work.

So I have to do another one.

know.

[laughing]

Great.

[chuckles] So the first stage is one that I added, the second queer adolescence.

And so for a lot of us in the queer community, we went through our adolescence physically at the same time as our, our non-queer counterparts, but many of us were not in-- we didn't have opportunities to explore parts of oursel- parts of our gender or our sexuality for lots of different reasons.

You know, either we weren't out, or we didn't have a safe community or safe friendships.

And so we ex- maybe explored some parts of ourselves, but not fully.

And so after somebody comes out or transitions, oftentimes they have this second queer adolescence, where they're getting to know themselves and they're learning what's important to them, what makes them tick, and that is a really good beginning stage for differentiation.

Sure.
