So I consider my egg cracking a different not event from starting to transition.This was me once I started coming out. I speed ran my social transition and just hopscotched from one milestone to another. Its like I spent so much time figuring out what I wanted from transitioning that once I made the decision I was just like "okay, let's go".
Oh I got that, I think that's how it goes for most of us? The realization of being trans followed by a phase of what one's gonna do with it.
For me these events just overlapped pretty much. Of course the cracking took a while, but the second I actually got it (when I finally read through the gender dysphoria bible) was the same moment where I decided I'll transition and come out to my loved ones ASAP. I've been searching for that answer for over a decade, when I finally got it I jumped in real fast. Still not sure where I took the guts for that from tbh.
I get that. Some of my friends have told me how brave I am and I'm just like "I don't really feel brave, I just got fed up". Thank you for sharing :)
