[Celia Buira]

Hi all,

So... This email has been sitting in my drafts for a while now. But
yeah I'm a trans woman.

Some people here I know IRL are already aware but I have been on
HRT[1] for quite few months now, and so now it's public knowledge too.

I would be very appreciative if someone could review this PR to remove
my dead name from the source code [2] ? My github handle also has
changed to @CeliaBuira

Obviously I left behind some digital footprint with the name Valentin.
If you could update my name wherever possible I would also be very
appreciative. And otherwise I guess that's life.

For "backward compatibility", I still answer to my previous mail
address, but please favor this one from now on

Looking back at it there were probably signs honestly, I even left few
easter eggs in my PRs for the attentive eyes.

I want to stress this, yes QGIS is *also* made by trans people and for
trans people. For me there is very few things more thrilling than
seeing QGIS used to defend trans people[3]

Special thanks to Even for this [4] it mattered more than you might
think. Thanks to Denis for making it easy to transition workwise. And
thanks many many thanks to all the Trans people before me, I'm
standing on your shoulders

Time to live to the fullest, I let you with a song from Caterina

Kind regards,
Celia Buira,
Formerly known as Valentin

PS: now I have one more thing in common with QGIS, we both have a dead name haha
