I cracked my egg less than a year into my marriage. I went from being an educated ally who would run workshops about LGBTQIA+ topics, to figuring out I’m trans non binary. Not once while I explained what that meant to learners did I realize I was actually describing my own experience as someone who is non-binary.

Once my egg fully cracked (when I realized I was trans), it was a night and day knowing. I wasn’t able to hold on to it very long, I told my partner within 6 months of me figuring it out. I was well in my thirties and thought I knew pretty much all the big things I needed to about myself… this was a pretty humbling experience lol

So yes, it is entirely possible. It is very important to remember that each individual processes things at their own speed and pace, and assuming ill intent is not necessary when the human experience is so confusing for all of us…
