    My egg cracked a few weeks after I turned 29. My 30s are gonna be an interesting time for sure, but I can actually imagine a future for myself now!

      My egg cracked in my late 20s. I’m 31 now and ~2 years on HRT. Its been only a few months since my last coming out and since I stopped boymoding entirely. I have changed at least as much as a person in these last few months as in the years between my egg crack and then. Its amazing how you can actually just do stuff and have fun and meet new people and be happy when you’re not depressed anymore and feel good about yourself and learn to have confidence and realize that you actually do have free will and can just do stuff if you want to.

      It really does get better and fighting through the hard times is so absolutely worth it!

        That’s so good to hear! I’m so happy for you, and I can’t wait to be where you are

        I feel like I’m one of the harder times right now. I’m ~4 months on HRT, and I’m out to almost all of my friends, who are awesome and have been really supportive, but not at work or with my family. I really want to be done with coming out to people and just be myself all the time! But my family are all Catholics, so I’m really nervous to tell them.

          Thank you!

          You’re going to get there faster than you think! Don’t rush your coming outs if you don’t feel ready yet, but also don’t wait for the perfect moment (it doesn’t exist). Stay safe and also give yourself enough time to process things in between!

      That is very interesting, at 29? I’m about to get diagnosed for ADHD a month from now.

      I attribute this to gaining to ability to stand up for yourself near the end of your twenties, whilst before, they just pacify you and keep you unaware, unt you suffer enough.
