So recently the @nodejs project posted an article seeking LGBTQIA+ stories from people who use or have contributed to Node.js, I shared the link last week.
Anyway, I decided to submit a story of how Node.js and tech in general was a lifeline for me as a teenager, in a world where I didn't quite fit in, and how I came to realise I was trans.
Many thanks to them for providing this opportunity!
