      I think I might be an egg, and it scares me. I'm almost 30, I have a straight girlfriend, my family is mostly Christian Baptist people. Realistically I don't think I could ever transition within the framework of the life I've built. Maybe 10, 15 years ago if I'd had the guts and I was still young I could have done it. But I knew nothing about trans people or being trans at that age. No one talked about it. Wish I lived in a world where trasn education and stuff wasn't taboo. I guess I'll always just wonder what it would have been like. I don't hate being a man, I don't think, but I've been depressed for a decade and I've never told anyone about these feelings and maybe this is the piece that's missing from my life. Idk. Like I said the bot can give you a lot to think about.

        Jeez you're right about that bot giving me a bit to think about. Am I happy? Am I confused? What is reality?

        I only recently found out myself. But I think I would rather try to do some things to enjoy that side of me, because you only live once you know? Even if I'm older, and I may never be able to truly become it, I just would want to feel that bit better that it could give me, and that it has given me when I do something even as simple as shaving! Its literally one of the cheesiest things I've ever said but I'll say it again: you only live once, so why not live that a tiny bit better, just a bit less depressed. Sure, it isn't a solution, nor a full embracing, but we won't ever get another chance to live it. I want to spend it getting to love myself or at least know more of myself.

        Idk if its helpful, im bad at advice, and I'm new to this trans thing myself.
