A dear friend told me about a community member of hers who's in their 40s with a family and struggling with gender dysphoria and fear about transitioning 'too late'. I spent an hour tracking this piece down to share. I'm so glad I was able to find it again, this piece is genuinely nestled into my soul. Thank you. It's never, never, never too late.
Hey Azure, thanks a lot for your work, it means a lot
2 years ago, I created a web implementation of Unknown Number (where you can scroll the messages like in a real interface). I did it because I was so moved by this work that I had to do something with it, like a personal tribute
If you want to check it out, my implementation is public (with only an extract of your original work, since I obviously don't have the rights to it)
I do think I did a fairly good job and that it is actually pretty nice to read Unknown Number this way. If you would like, Azure, I can send you the HTML file (which simply has to be opened with a web browser on a smartphone/computer/whatev)
Wow!! This is deeply cool and lovingly done, and I also very much appreciate the kind regard of using an excerpt. I think it would be really amazing to offer this way of reading it and am chewing on how to do that in a way that is fair and ensures you are valued for your work; I'm saying this now instead of waiting until I know what the answer is on that because I don't want to leave this without response for too long because it's genuinely really meaningful to me. Thank you. I'll contact you when I figure out a fair offer on how to offer this way of reading it.

Oh gosh. That means so much. Thank you. And all my love to that community member, that struggle is so painful.

glad this is still here after Shitter went down the drain
thank you for making this available as a download - i’m proud to have taking the chance to vote/nominate it for the prize!
God I loved this so much when I first saw it on Twitter. Powerful writing. Glad to have an offline copy for future generations.
It's never too late to transition 💜
OMG YES
