dissociation pre hrt is sooo true.....
A I don't check all the boxes, so I can't even be an egg! Checkmate!
Jessica out here cracking eggs like it's her job.
but it is my job
And you're damn good at it!
Ouch. Some egg memes make me feel really seen and validated but this just one just kinda hits way too hard and makes me sad. Still whatever (cis I guess) though, but despite lots of introspection and the realization that maybe changing something would improve my situation, age and lack of a current friend group/support system, years of depression, and the costs associated with a whole new wardrobe, the mental burden of learning to fit in in an entirely different way, and the difficulty of finding someone I can even speak to about these things makes everything feel so out of reach that I just feel even more despair. Idk thanks for your memes and presence here, I recognize the username and you're a beautiful presence. Idk why I'm even writing this comment except I've had a couple drinks.
It's ok; this image is seriously a cognitohazard for eggs. It's so brutally efficient at cutting through the internal excuses for not transitioning that it leaves you only with the practical considerations. Not having the social support or money to transition are reasonable concerns. Transitioning isn't easy, especially if you have to deal with bigotry and medical gatekeepers.
However, transitioning will do more for your mental health than almost anything. It's not like age will stop you from enjoying the time you have left as the person you want to be. Fascism and transphobia have made my life so depressing recently, but I still don't regret transitioning in the slightest. Even if I get killed for being trans, it was far better enjoying the few years I had than going the rest of my life as the empty husk I once was.
Now I can’t speak for your situation. But I am transitioning at age 35, there so many even older people that have started to transition. If you can look at Reddit subreddit translater is a great resource to see you are not alone.
You don’t have to a new wardrobe tomorrow. Hell I been transiting for a year and most of my women wardrobe is just fun clothes to wear at home that I think I would die if I was seen wearing outside.
It is lifelong journey but you dont have be at finish line tomorrow. Start small finding something to try in peace and quiet. In my case was this black tull skirt that made me spinn as chield
I feel called out.
Yeah, ALL cis males use dozens of filter apps to see what they look like as a woman and ask random strangers if they "think this girl is cute"
Totally normal cis thing to do. Right guys?
..... Right?
I bet she's super cute though!
Ouch, that’s way too accurate.
I’m going to save this one for when I started doubting myself again.
Ha, I don't have such recurrent dreams so couldn't be me! :3
What about daydreams? ;3
Ugh I have no time to daydream anymore 😩
I'm relieved that it's not just me.
Oof, I hit all of these, when do I get the jackpot?

-
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways. Read more about this decision here.

No Ewwphoria posts. Posts which contain misogyny, misandry, transmisogyny, transmisandry, or enbyphobia for the purpose of expressing euphoria are not allowed here. At best they bring anger to others, and at worst they may trigger people's dysphoria. People who create such posts will have them removed and may be banned at moderator discretion.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
