I feel the egg metaphor ironically applies more to transition than pre-transition - it's a slow and beautiful process where small changes accumulate on your body as cracks in the dysphoria shell leading to an emergence of the person you wish you were in your mind as reality in your mirror
would realizing you are trans not be the first of many cracks tho?
maybe! I think I was viewing realizing that you're trans as the very beginning, and thus transition as a development like fetus in an egg. although I don't know what a finish or fully cracked egg looks like in this analogy lol
For me, I wouldn't say it was the first. Think things like "I don't identify as a guy, but I'm technically cis" to "I'm not cis, but I'm not trans either" would be earlier cracks.
Ngl I always thought the term egg started as a pun, 'eggs turn into chicks' and all. Given it is, in my experience, almost exclusively used for transfemmes. It's not really a coherent metaphor because it isn't exactly trying to be.
