I was viciously transed against my will by TotallyNotJessica's memes.

I actually just let myself try being the slightest bit femme "just to see how I'd feel" and it felt so good it shattered my whole conception of myself.

Unironically, a meme is what got me started questioning. I was a dense egg, so plenty of things. I should have probably noticed earlier, but I never even considered those things could be a sign of being trans. Then I saw a meme about a perk of being NB and my first reaction was "that's just normal for people, right?"

I wouldn't have figured it out if not for comic. I had a moment of unanticipated envy over a picture of two girls kissing and went through the rest of the comic word for word. this

I mean I was only half joking about TotallyNotJessica memes cracking me.

For real though, I did research on the topic of gender identity as part of my BSc in psychology. I had a bunch of ‘this trans specific experience is relatable to me’ moments but I always put it aside. I finally started to ask myself at some point how many ‘relatable’ moments do I need to have for them to be statistically significant .. so I started questioning joined the instance here and was totally not trans. Just working things out and I was quite sure I might just be non binary.

A meme you shared was an egg_irl starter pack, made it onto my local feed.

I thought okay show me what you’ve got and marked all the things that I felt I relate to. It was all but two of the items. That combined with my rateable moments finally did crack my egg for good. I have started the process and long road to HRT and can now finally put into words what I have been suppressing for the last 20 years.

PS: I only wish you would have done that when I was 12, when I was experimenting being a girl in secret, alone in my room without internet 😅 took you long enough :3 😜

Now I am left with one question, what are you gonna make with all the eggs you have cracked? Omelette, pancakes or something else? Do you just collect them like Pokémon?

**edit for time line corrections and adding of the meme post in question.

That egg_irl starterpack was one of the most powerful memes I've ever come across, so I'm happy to know that it got someone! I too wish I saw this meme earlier in my life, but better late than never.

Also, I totally feel you on viewing the evidence for being trans in terms of statistical significance. What finally pushed me over the edge into coming out was realizing that there would always be a chance that I was wrong, but the chance was so incredibly small that I'd have an easier time overturning the Standard Model.

As far as what I'm doing with y'all...I'm building an army to conquer Antarctica, our ancestral homeland :3

Ooooh I am an official asset and or sleeper agent, how exciting.

That starterpack was so good I showed it to my therapist recently, she really dug into each item and we discussed how exactly it relates and at what point I first had it apply etc.. I would not be surprised to find her show it to people who are questioning ^^
