<br>
So... This email has been sitting in my drafts for a while now. But<br>
yeah I'm a trans woman.<br>
<br>
Some people here I know IRL are already aware but I have been on<br>
HRT[1] for quite few months now, and so now it's public knowledge too.<br>
<br>
I would be very appreciative if someone could review this PR to remove<br>
my dead name from the source code [2] ? My github handle also has<br>
changed to @CeliaBuira<br>
<br>
Obviously I left behind some digital footprint with the name Valentin.<br>
If you could update my name wherever possible I would also be very<br>
appreciative. And otherwise I guess that's life.<br>
<br>
For "backward compatibility", I still answer to my previous mail<br>
address, but please favor this one from now on<br>
<br>
Looking back at it there were probably signs honestly, I even left few<br>
easter eggs in my PRs for the attentive eyes.<br>
<br>
I want to stress this, yes QGIS is *also* made by trans people and for<br>
trans people. For me there is very few things more thrilling than<br>
seeing QGIS used to defend trans people[3]<br>
<br>
Special thanks to Even for this [4] it mattered more than you might<br>
think. Thanks to Denis for making it easy to transition workwise. And<br>
thanks many many thanks to all the Trans people before me, I'm<br>
standing on your shoulders<br>
<br>
Time to live to the fullest, I let you with a song from Caterina<br>

Kind regards,<br>
Celia Buira,<br>
Formerly known as Valentin<br>
<br>
PS: now I have one more thing in common with QGIS, we both have a dead name haha<br>
