egg_irl — Memes about being trans people in denial and other eggy topics@lemmy.blahaj.zoneEnglish · 1 day ago

My egg finally cracked, or more like it has been cooking for a while and now it is finally done?

I turned 35 recently and despite all the really obvious signs over many many years - into gender bender anime/manga, occasional crossdressing for “fun” at home, is it just a kink? huge Miku fan, do I like her / want to be her? etc. I always kind of just compartmentalized it as a kink mostly. And I have a pretty stable life atm, I’m doing well, but maybe I felt a few things didn’t fit.

I’ve always been slow with my feelings, but I’ve been reading all these experiences on egg_irl and transmemes lately. Especially Brook2Valley comics, and these memes/posts below really resonated.

I did some broader research to really confirm things for myself and damn, just admitting it finally felt euphoric. So much that I couldn’t sleep and apparently it has fixed my ADHD.

I’m not even remotely ready to share with my irl friends yet, but I started looking at health care options locally that are trans friendly.

If you are looking for a place to discuss something specific to you or especially if you need help or are in crisis, we have communities and resources that can support you linked at the bottom of this sidebar.

General Rules:

No bigotry.

No reposts.
No personal-life posts, bingo cards, quizzes, selfies, “trans/not trans” lists, picrew, or non-memes.
No visible names or usernames.
Do not post or link to pornography.

Rules on Post Titles and Tags:

Posts must be titled “egg_irl”. An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between “egg” and “irl”.
Posts that assume the viewer’s gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:
- [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc]

Rules on Comments

If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
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.
