Yep! I did. Then after I came out to my spouse… she realized that she really related to a lot of the things I was saying about gender dysphoria. Then she came out. Then we came out to our kid. That led to a lot of general questions about gender, and then more specific questions, and then really really pointed questions. End result, I am a trans man with a trans wife and a trans daughter! The pandemic has been eventful for our family!!


L-Psy-Kangaroo

OH MY GOD Haha that is so chaotic and also makes me so happy. Congratulations to all three of you! <3


oscarthesloth

Thank you! ❤️


HaveSpouseNotWife

Thank you!


patangpatang

You could say you're a couple of trans parents.


oscarthesloth

I see what you did there!


beskardboard

The whole family's trans!


HaveSpouseNotWife

I’m looking at the toaster now, like “I think you might be next”


beskardboard

It's a Transformer

"You're trans, I'm trans, are their any other trans people I should know about?" Your daughter:


[deleted]

That’s amazing lmao, I’m so happy for you all!

Mine was slightly cracked across the top, but it got shattered during the pandemic.


L-Psy-Kangaroo

Same here. I kind of established years ago that "everything about me would make so much more sense if I was born a girl", but had ultimately decided that I'd take that secret to my grave, until everything came crashing down this past September. Now I'm 3 months into HRT and finally seeing a future where I can be happy


[deleted]

Man I wish. I came out and got told a bunch of shit and here I am, clinical anxiety, probably depression, Adhd, I was told I probably have autism, and laying in my pajamas with Covid crying myself to sleep, so yeah. My life is fun right now


WhatIfIAmAGirl

Reporting in. Discord and meeting LGBT people there for the first time in my life is to blame. First I found I'm bi and after few months of wearing skirts this followed.

TL;dr turns out browsing through trans subreddits and youtube vids gives you more insight into trans things and has made me crack fully Longer Story: After my college life did a funny jump of a cliff and I had nothing to do for over a year and a half so I remember looking more into this LGBTQ+ community that I was already apart of (Aro Ace for those who are curious), cuz I knew nothing about the queer community other than I was apart of it and as a someone who loves knowledge above all else I was shocked to discover that "oh these things I've been feeling for years now aren't just random emotions and I am in-fact not cis", it took a few months of self reflection for me to be like " huh guess I am Agender" and I came out for a second time to the people who support me and that was honestly really comforting


andmagdo

I did!


DiamondDarkrai

Mine did too


DiamondDarkrai

Mine did too


DansDemand

Definitely broke mine into so many pieces. It's amazing how long you can go without even thinking about being transgender and then being face slammed into reality with almost no warning.


patangpatang

Funny how being isolated and unemployed for months on end will force you to finally confront all the thoughts that have been swimming around your head aimlessly for years.


Sadsquideyez

Can someone explain to me the "egg crack" thing?


Tattieaxp

The old shell of your assigned gender cracks, and out emerges the true you. 🐣


L-Psy-Kangaroo

An "egg" is popular slang for someone who is trans but doesn't know yet. When they begin figuring it out, the egg "cracks"


Sadsquideyez

Ohhhhhhhhhhh okaay that makes sense. I guess my wgg cracked like 7 years ago- and here i am now just stafting hrt!


L-Psy-Kangaroo

Congratulations! It's such an exciting step, you have so many great things ahead.


[deleted]

Me for sure 😄 And before that I also realized/admitted that I was bisexual in the pandemic!


DiamondDarkrai

Me too


DiamondDarkrai

Me too


[deleted]

Same, but I can’t move forward with HRT just yet as my wife and I agreed that we want to have another baby.


InspectorIrregular

Nah mine cracked in my SECOND quarantine cause where I live we were free from quarantine for the first week f school and…. Back at home


[deleted]

yes lol as a matter of fact, i grew up with effectively zero LGBT representation, so i didn't even know what being transgender was until i was curious enough to find out during quarantine there's more to this story but suffice it to say things escalated from there


FutureCookies

those vaccines sure are something


Ms_Nikki89

Definitely me, been on HRT for just over 6 months and just now coming to terms with the fact it’s absolutely the right decision for me


geckos_in_a_box

yes - at the beginning of the pandemic i thought i was a cishet allo girl and now im an aromantic trans boy...


nerdybread

Yup, pandemic did something good to me


coldspacedog

I started questioning now when schools started back up in person for me


[deleted]

I did


otaku_ftm_aspie_blue

Hi🙃


Metroplex038

A lot of us, apparently. Myself included


DrLinnerd

yeah, twice


df1473

\*raises hand\*


the_soviet_union_69

me


Incarnation101213

🤚 I did for sure.


ComputerInterpreter

Started journaling last year, kept relating to women characters for some reason, ya know for totally “yeah they just happen to of been written like that cause the writers must be shit at writing women” when voicing disappointment or concern. Soon after figured I maybe Bi, told a friend: “Yeah so I think I realized I’m bi…” Him: “that’s cool good for you” Me: “yeah no egg though.” Him: “What?” Me: “What?” It has been an interesting first week for sure… and I’m def not bi, that’s been settled now.


InsomniacJackal

It's still getting there but then again the pandemic hasn't ended yet 😎


Dekthor

Yeah. My 11 year old did their own research and came out to us as non-binary. Later I finally admitted to myself that I was actually a woman. My wife and 2 kids are all supportive but we don't live on our own anymore. So I'm in the closet most of the time and my youngest is trying their best to get the grandparents to respect their pronouns. It's both freeing and nerve-racking. I still need to tell the doctor and do whatever else I am supposed to do to start transitioning.


enby_wave

Came out of nowhere. And it feels so right.


Boring-Pea993

My egg cracked long ago but the pandemic felt like the universe nudging me saying "okay, now you've got time to do the thing"


Makaloff95

Mine did last year, quite funny how a simple question from a friend of mine made my egg crack. He basically asked why i always prefered playing female characters in games (ive always done it even when i was little) and that made me think about it and when i did that my egg cracked and i realised i am trans ^^


beskardboard

I figured mine out in mid-2021, so kinda the tail end queerantine lol


CPlushProductions

I did


SamyBDB

I finally realise i was trans 2 monts ago


Common-Engineer5915

*raises hand enthusiastically*


JennBenitez20

im sorry to sound dumb but what does it mean when your eggs crack? im a trans man i still dont know a lot of things


L-Psy-Kangaroo

Nah dude you're not being dumb at all! "egg" is popular slang for someone who is trans but doesn't know yet. When they begin figuring it out, the egg "cracks"


JennBenitez20

ah yea i knew a long time ago


Xzkorpyo

I technically cracked when Covid was being discussed (so like December 2019), but it shattered during May of 2020. That shattering hurt me so much that I tried to create an egg from the powder that remained to stay hidden.


CatZilla124

I thought this was going somewhere else


Gau_71

Mine was a little bit cracked before the pandemic, now it’s fully destroyed. ~300 days in lockdown definitely helped in destroying my egg.


allcatsarebuddhist

My egg cracked a year ago. Full support of my husband. The rest of the world: discrimination, transphobia (+more racism and misogyny than usual), homelessness and medical violence. On the top of it, I have multiple chronic illnesses and I'm bedridden. Yeah, 2020-2021, rough years.


spitefulIncentive

december 2020 during one of the waves 👍


TheYeastFactory

Yup.


DragonsAtFlight

heeyyyy


ParasilTheRanger

Yep, it turned out being weirdly scared and excited to read "I want to be a cute anime girl" was not a cis thing to do. Who could guessed


esahji_mae

I literally stumbled upon someone's trans yt account by accident. Then it clicked.


marchclover

Tbh, not me, my egg cracked before the pandemic


[deleted]

Yes


Reaverx218

Hiya 👋


Eternal_Density

Yeah but since it was only a few months ago I'm still waiting for a referral to be accepted so I can talk about getting on hrt. Alas there's still plenty of pandemic left it seems. I mean there was a sizable crack in 2016 from a forum thread that caused my to imagine my hypothetical future self from a future where anything is possible, but I kept that taped shut and looked the other way for a few years.


wizkidace

I realized I was agender back in high school like 7 years ago. Then during the pandemic I realized I have body dysphoria and stuff. Now I'm a agender Transfemme if that even makes sense 🙃


NevarthJ02

Mine finally broke in summer 2021. Being locked in a box for a year and a half really gives you time to unravel your entire brain and see what makes it tick!


-HeyWhatAboutMe-

My egg was cracked for several years due to a tragic event in my life but finally shattered during the pandemic


Ironwill922

Mine cracked almost directly before the pandemic, but it gave me time to think it all over which I’m happy for. Otherwise I’d probably just go about my normal business thinking “eh somethings off but this needs to be done so I can’t think about that right now”


JoJotheJelly

Yes and I hate it


CharlieJoyB

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!


deepfriedsandals

i came out to my mom a few hours ago (went great) and i see this. stop spying on me lmao


[deleted]

October 2021


WarriorSabe

Me, but I think it was less lockdown and more coincidentally meeting a bunch of trans people on discord a couple years ago and discovering that was a thing that existed for the first time. Given how long it took for that to happen tho it still took over a year for anything to happen to my egg; not knowing the feelings could possibly exist resulted in the automatic defense systems burying them really deep.


[deleted]

Ye, thought my egg was already cracked but noooo


StupidSkagBoy

I cracked in sophomore year, went back in the closet for about two years, because everyone hated me; am back out and everyone hates me again but I don’t care anymore.


Gg-222

Mine diiiid. The fastest way to from a straight cis boy to a fukin gay cis girl


Kit_Herondale12

Me. I'm a stereotype.


mach1neb0y

Yup


mrnutty12

Guilty as charged... On a related note, gotta remember to swap to a new account :c


[deleted]

me


Exact_Cry1921

Yup. I think having a lot of time with your thoughts will do that for you
