Cracking refers to their weird slang regarding eggs, it's their version of "the closet". It means when you supposedly have that aha moment that you're trans. You've cracked out of your egg and become your "true" and "authentic" self. Not sure of the origin.

"true" and "authentic" self. Not sure of the origin

I would like to know the origin too, I think it might shed light on who started this bullshit.

On August 23rd, 2016, the term "Egg mode" was defined by Urban Dictionary user bitplane7 as "Someone who is trans but doesn't know it yet. Someone who is still an embryo of the trans person they will eventually hatch into." The definition gained 106 upvotes and four downvotes in three years. On August 9th 2017, Urban Dictionary user happycookie defined "egg" as "Transgender person who hasn't come out yet. A chick or a cock on the inside." the definition has received 329 upvoted and 89 downvotes in two years. It has since become the top definition for this term.

I always thought the origin was going to be some dumb joke like "crack an egg and a chick comes out", somewhat surprised to see I'm right.

Not to be insulting but I think you are gullible for believing that. It is clearly a cover story. There is a reason it doesn't make sense. Real slang is catchy and makes sense.
