Today is the day I decided 5 years ago to socially transition! Never looked back, best decision of my life. I hadn't even started HRT yet
Wow our "gender moments" are only a month apart!! Thanks COVID!! ๐คญ
I cracked my egg in January 2019, squeeked out right before covid~ I still remember wearing a bralette under my boy clothes and painting my toenails, stealing my exes panties, getting laser hair removal for all that year.
Covid DID let me experiment a lot more at home and have an excuse to wear a mask outside though. And by September 2020 I knew for sure I wanted to go all the way.
Real! My egg crack was after the start of my social transition... XD
I started using "girl voice" all the time and wearing girl clothes and shaving all my body/face hair just cuz it felt nice :) I only started actually thinking of myself as a trans woman after people started she/her-ing me in public and I read some queer theory lol

I feel like my mom socially transitioned as a child and still hasn't had her egg crack. Says she's a woman because of the bits she was born with, even if she dressed in mens clothes, has a deep voice, is fine with being he/him/sir'd, acknowledges she's treated as a guy in some social situations, and says she'd rather be on T.

I think it would be amusing if she'd start HRT without cracking too, but her excuse for not taking T was recent health issues (the biggest one being associated with T) when I suggested she should take it because she expressed interest in doing so without any sort of leading. Honestly, if she's gotten what she's wanted from transitioning without cracking, perhaps there's not much point to realizing? And if she's actually set on not taking HRT because of health issues, perhaps cracking would just lead to more stress about what she's missing out on and how much she already missed out on?
One year of social transition for me as of a few days ago!
Holy crap its been 5 years for me too! Or maybe 4? Goddamn I've gotten so little done in that time it's depressing. Wait no! looks at the woman staring back in the mirror. I've done so much.
