I had been on a bit of a journey of self discovery the couple years before. I started therapy, got diagnosed with ADHD, started meds, accepted I'm bi, found out I have autism, just a bunch of stuff. I think I always knew I wanted to be a girl, but I never connected that with being trans, partly out of ignorance and partly I think I just didn't believe I could ever be truly happy with myself. So before my egg cracked I knew there was some gender stuff going on just not what exactly.

Anyway one day my ex and I decided to do some acid together, and after like an hour it just hit me all at once that I'm a woman. Like a real live lightbulb moment, one second I believe I'm a man and the next I realize I'm actually a woman. I had never felt so feminine before in my life. It was just so obvious that I was a woman inside and had been doing this ridiculous man impression my whole life, I couldn't deny it anymore. I feel kinda lucky I got to have such a clean moment of clarity. In handsight I would have figured it out eventually, but it was nice to be slapped in the face and handed the truth on a silver platter for once in my life.

It took almost a year after that to finally get on hormones, for several stupid reasons and several reasonable but annoying reasons, but now I am and I've literally never been happier with myself than I am now.
