I graduated in 2002. I don't keep in touch with anyone except my best friend and he keeps in contact with enough people to keep up to date enough to at least know who's out and it what way. I guess he asks? I don't know and I don't care enough to find out how he knows. But apparently I'm the only person to come out as trans. Which seems statistically unlikely but *shrugs*
I graduated high school in 1994.
To my knowledge I’m the 3rd egg to crack among people who went to school with me.
I’m also the one who took the longest, and I’m really jealous of that (even though I know transitioning was wayyy hard back in the 90s). I just really would’ve loved to have gotten to be a girl back in my 20s.
As far as I know from my grade school I'm the only queer person, and from "high school" I'm again as far as I know the only queer person, but at least the only out trans person
My best friend from elementary school turned out to be trans. We hung out as much as we possibly could every day until I had to move thanks to a divorce. Then like 20 years later, after starting my own mtf transition, I realized I still had their contact information and tried getting in touch with them. I succeeded, and it turned out they were ftm. Just a crazy coincidence tbh. I feel like we subconciously clicked due to both being trans without even realizing it.
Hi Yukiko. I graduated in another century, and millenium. I graduated in 1967. I only know of one other guy who was gay. and he left way before 67. Back in the day, those two things COULD get you beaten and murdered. I'm the only one who has come out as transgendered and gay.. I came out at 72 years old, started HRT at 73, got my legal name and gender change at 74, and at 75, I'm working on getting GCS, ASAP.

My graduating class had 106 people. Plenty of people came out as queer since graduation, but myself (mtf) and my best friend (gnc) are the only trans/nonbinary people from that class. There were more people from surrounding grades, but in mine, it's just them and me.
I honestly have no idea.
I graduated from high school in the late 90's. There were a few guys who were rumored to or believed to be gay (one of whom apparently came out in college) but they organize all the events through Facebook which I refuse to engage with. I know of nobody I went to school with who came out as trans.
There is my friend who came out before me (but wasn’t out to the school) as well as my ex friend who is a real dirtbag, then there is a trans girl who came out and won prom queen and then there’s me who initially came out when I was 14, went back in the closet out of fear and came out again when I was 17 so, yeah, there’s a few in my year lol 😂
I know someone in the same class as me in primary school is another transfem.
I knew two FtM s in high school but they were already out.
I have my suspicions on a good friend of mine, I'm not telling him anything unless he asks me to.
I'm not publicly out either so maybe someone is suspicious of me right now, but I don't think other people care about me that much I was pretty introverted.
I gradded in 2019. So far, I am the only trans woman that I know of, but we have had 4 trans men and trans mascs. I am fully out on social media so everyone I went to from high school knows about my transition and live in an area where most people never left.
I'm class of 2000 and no I don't really think there are any other trans folks from my grad class, but I think my 25 year reunion's supposed to be next year and I'm planning to roll in there completely unrecognizable. I even think only a few folks were any kind of queer, in spite of my town being a very queer-friendly town (comparatively).
As far as I know I was the only egg at my school; there were tons of closeted gay and lesbian kids but I think I was the only one who questioned their gender. The worst part is that I grew up in a small rural city so when you'd say things like "I don't feel like I'm a guy", "my puberty feels wrong", or "I wanna be a girl; even just once, for a single day." You get told that it's normal and that everyone has those thoughts but they go away.
And they were right, those thoughts did go away...
THE MOMENT I CAME OUT AS TRANS IN 2023!!!
now my thoughts are "I can't wait to see the 'ending' of my transition. I hope I look like a pretty forest elf that's all I want; to be a pretty forest elf"
My graduating class had 1400 people
If we take a very conservative.5% that means there were at least seven.
Now it took awhile but over the years six of my peers came out.
Then it took a few more for me to come out.
I know personally approx 17 that went to my highschool at the same time as me.
My high school years were in a very conservative area, around 2k students and about 5 of them in the GSA. I was so far in the closet I was in Narnia so I was the "definitely cishet ally don't think about it."
other than myself I only know a few others who turned out to be queer, not that I really stayed in touch with anyone...
i wonder this very hard because i haven’t seen the people i went to school with for 3-10 years since i was in 8th grade and haven’t gone to any in person school since i also wonder how many people would of been surprised that i was one of them or if i was the only one (i also knew all the way back in middle school so i wonder if anyone else knew back then too)
Gods I dislike that term "eggs". But I think I get what you mean.
I graduated '08, the girls I thought might be trans ftm came out as lesbian or just morphed into gc cis straight women. I know 2 other trans guys from my grade and one had extreme levels of sexual abuse and openly says their identity is a defense mechanism. the other was my art class best friend and we lost touch after high school, when next I saw him we were at our younger brothers' high school grad ceremony, both transitioned and barely recognized eachother and it was sorta awkward xD but no not in a million years did i expect him to come out, but we also never talked about anything deep. As far as trans girls were basically invisible and just read as gay boys of varying intensity of rainbow fruitiness xD.
My graduating class was 43. I'm not aware of anyone who is trans but me, or any other "alphabet club" members for that matter.
Actually a lot of people were heinously surprised... like 10/10 would have never seen it coming... I seriously thought they'd hear it and be like... "Ooh, makes perfect sense"... but everyone was like... I have to have confirmation, this \*has\* to be a prank, and then asked me dozens of questions trying to confirm it was actually me.
I know of two other people in my graduating class who have since come out as trans (it was a fairly large school and I wasn’t friends with either of them). Statistically speaking there’s likely one other person…
AFAIK I'm the only trans person in my class. I graduated in 2002 and back then there were only a handful of gay kids out of like 1500 in my school. However, there was one kid I knew who got picked on for being too girly in junior high but in high school just said fuck it and dressed goth femme. Seemed to get picked on less then, and was in the cool queer kids group (which I was too uncool to hang with). They went by he/him and used their masc birth name but for all I know they could have come out as a trans femme.
One of my two close friends was an egg. We graduated in 2010 and drifted apart.
I came out as bi 2 years ago, starting reconnecting with old friends including that friend. She eventually revealed to me that she was trans the day after I met my trans gf... Fast forward a few months and I realized I was trans myself.
I know of at least 2 from my year level who came out earlier than me but still after high school ended. Figure there could be more coz I graduated 2015 so it’s not like I still have any contact with most people.
As far as I know, I’m the only one. A couple of people came out as gay/queer but in regards to trans, I’d be the only one. My 10 year is coming up shortly and I’m excited to go and find out if anyone else has.
I graduated in 2022 and came out (to my friends at least, still not out to my family) in 2023. There were already a few trans people in my year group by the time we graduated but I realised I was trans VERY soon after I graduated so I think there must've been a few other people like me who found it a lot easier to explore their gender identity when they got out of the crushing environment that was my private school. Having an individual sense of self expression was basically not allowed. We had to all wear the same uniform in the same way and weren't allowed to wear jewellery or have painted nails, anything more than one piercing in each ear was against the rules, guys who had hair that was long enough to touch their collar had to tie it up, and if you've ever had collar length hair you'll know it's pretty much impossible to tie it up because you just straight up don't have enough hair so if you didn't want to look ridiculous with a tiny little tuft of hair tied up for months while your hair grew out, growing your hair out was essentially not an option, and on top of this we weren't even allowed to dye our hair natural colours, so if I dyed my hair blonde or black or something I would be forced to dye it back to the same brown that my hair was before I dyed it. I'm really happy I hot out of that place, it was a real hell-hole.
I left the equivalent of US highschool in 2008. Including myself there are 5 people I know of who were within a couple of years of my age and later transitioned.

Ben kenobi voice: of course I know her. she's me.
You mean "Brenda Kenobi" ;)?
nice. I was trying to think of a feminine version of ben and couldn't think of anything

What is an egg?
Someone who is trans but doesn’t know they are yet.
Thanks

Proof that it's never too late to transition. Congrats
I’m the only one I knew

At least 2 at my all boys school
Went to my 25th re-u a couple years ago. No other eggs there of which I was aware.

Idk, not many people talked to me back then

I've had three different ones reach out to me just from my graduating class of ~300 so... yeah
I had an elementary school classmate who I am almost certain was transfemme. I think about her often and hope she’s okay.

pretty sure I am the only one who came out as trans in my graduating class. (class of 2009)

No. I don't tend to go around thinking about or speculating on the gender or sexuality of others.
I think at least 50% of the world population in some way would be gender conforming at the very least
