Had a wonderful moment of #cripjoy when I had a mishap in public and caused a huge mess. To this day, my family shames me when I have accidents, break things, etc. so as soon as it happened I braced myself. My body went into "I'm in trouble" mode.

But I wasn't with my family. I was around strangers. And they rushed to me and asked me if I was okay, and they did everything they could to help.

I couldn't stop crying afterwards because the world is not my family. There is #kindness all around.

I haven't been swimming indoors since before covid, before I came out.

It was a surprisingly emotional experience! Getting to do so in a way that felt safe for both my gender and my access needs (including ventilation) is rare and amazing.
