My egg finally cracked, or more like it has been cooking for a while and now it is finally done?

I turned 35 recently and despite all the really obvious signs over many many years - into gender bender anime/manga, occasional crossdressing for “fun” at home, is it just a kink? huge Miku fan, do I like her / want to be her? etc. I always kind of just compartmentalized it as a kink mostly. And I have a pretty stable life atm, I’m doing well, but maybe I felt a few things didn’t fit.

I’ve always been slow with my feelings, but I’ve been reading all these experiences on egg_irl and transmemes lately. Especially Brook2Valley comics, and these memes/posts below really resonated.

I did some broader research to really confirm things for myself and damn, just admitting it finally felt euphoric. So much that I couldn’t sleep and apparently it has fixed my ADHD.

I’m not even remotely ready to share with my irl friends yet, but I started looking at health care options locally that are trans friendly.

    wheeeeeeee! i’m glad for you. this is a very exciting moment. i’ll give you my two pennies, do as you wish with them: if possible, and you are ready for it search for local support groups. for me it was very important to semi-regularly meet those other trans people, and actually see their faces. online discourse is helpfull too, but knowing there are other trans people in town you can connect with (more or less) was a “i am not alone” moment. (i got dragged there by a trans friend, i came out to first, so technically i already knew, but … there were even more of us! 🤩)

    enjoy your day. and go forward in your pace. you will find even more joy. :3
