In today's episode Maria shares her story of coming out to me at 2am on Halloween.
What does Ms. Pac-Man have to do with this life-changing event? And how did Shannon react upon hearing the news?
This is one of the most asked questions of Shannon —and we understand the curiosity and the lure of why people want to know the details around this moment. We also want you to know that “coming out” often takes place over weeks, months, sometimes years, not just days.
We both had so much to figure out in these first few hours. Shannon didn’t even know what transgender meant. Today we are taking you behind the scenes of the first few hours of Maria’s coming out to Shannon.
Errata from Maria: I foolishly said that T in LGBTQIAAP+ was the only identity not dealing with sexual attraction and that's obviously wrong. Intersex and Agender people are not to be forgotten and I apologize for having misspoken during this episode. Very Sorry!
