You don't always gotta explode them hard

Egg metaphor.
I like it in general but I've been increasingly dissatisfied with the resulting "egg crack" as a metaphor for "realizing I'm trans". It puts a heavy focus on the "before" part of the experience but neglects the "after" part.

I'm leaning more toward referring to it as an "awakening". I know that's pretty generic but I feel like it captures the continuity of the experience, and doesn't focus on that one event as being in itself transformative compared to the reality that subsequent transformative acts are things you decide to do as you explore what your new understanding of reality means to you.

I guess for my mid-life crisis I'm body sculpting.
You know, running, weightlifting, performance enhancing drugs, the whole thing.

And by performance let's just say I mean... breasts.
