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.
Me, up until a few weeks ago!
34, myself. I lucked out with a partner that’s going through similar self-discovery and they’re bisexual so as long as I’m the same person, they don’t care how I present myself.
I have been looking into gender affirming care nearby and I would have to drive an hour away just for an appointment, and I’m looking at probably around $500 for the first appointments and prescription, which is about 1/3 my savings account… So it’s been a Rollercoaster of emotions.
Hopefully you have some kind of support structure around you to help you through your own Rollercoaster! If you can find some local LGBT groups, check them out! They’re great for resources and just general friendship! I had about 10 people join me at the park for hammocking a few weeks ago, and all of them were from the group.
