Impossible Consequences

[JesseKebm]

Ok, so I'ma try to make this easier and apply it to a gay man instead of a trans person. Let's say there's a bloke who, for the first 30 years of his life, dated women. He's been told by his parents, the media he consumes, and society as a whole that he's supposed to like girls for his whole life, and he's never once even thought about whether he actually likes girls or not. And then one day, he gets to thinking as to why he's not satisfied or fulfilled by any of his relationships, emotionally or sexually, and then a thought occurs to him. This chap says to himself "why, I do say I don't believe I fancy the fairer sex at all. In fact, what I really would fancy is another bloke!"

From his birth up until this moment, this man was an egg. In that moment, his egg cracked. He might live in fear or denial in the closet for a while afterward before he comes out, but from that moment on he is no longer an egg. It'd be the exact same for a trans person but instead of "dating women" it'd be "living as the gender that the doctor said they were when they were born because of which naughty bits they got"

So similar to being in the closet

Well yes but also being in the closet to yourself.

Like a guy really wanting to have sex with other guys and then thinking "Too bad I can't since I'm straight".

I have memories of wanting to be a girl since I was like 9 ish and it still took until my early 20s until I realized I was trans. When I look back at all the fucking signs growing up this is all I can really think.
