2 was my first thought too, but maybe its better that I didnt had my egg cracking while I was still living with my parents (the funny thing is, that I still had my egg cracking while staying at my parents place between semesters) and going to school.
My egg cracked at 11, but enbys were almost entirely unknown in Texas back then so I masked so hard that I was basically living in denial. My 18yo self wouldn’t need gender validation, it’ll find kindred spirits for that in college, but “Colorado, not California” might push up my transition date by a decade, 'cuz my first attempt to escape Texas didn’t go well.
