A good friend just found out that genetic material she stored 5 years ago before starting to transition was destroyed 4 years ago by the company, Legacy, and they kept charging her for storage until they notified her last week about what they'd done, and in the meantime told her that everything was fine and being handled correctly. Just in case any y'all were thinking about this.

This is less to trash the company in particular and more to say hey if you are in this situation maybe consider more than one company.

@smellsofbikes Trashing that company in particular also seems fair though. Considering not everyone could afford even one storage option, let alone two.

@rose_alibi I can't even, yeah. I feel awful for her.

@smellsofbikes @rose_alibi That's absolutely inexcusable, And also yeah, if like me you have backups of everything important both in the cloud and on a hard drive, maybe one should take a similar approach to genetic material. Honestly, using storage facilities at least a thousand miles apart would make sense.

@msbellows @smellsofbikes @rose_alibi If you’ve got the financial means to double up.

Though personally, stories like this make me very relieved I was never attached to the idea of having children.
