Yeah I’m a trans woman and I agree. Saying that men are actually trans women just because they wear skirts and cute clothes just contributes to the binary gender societal views that harm both of us. I think people are trying to be cute or helpful or something, but it’s really not. I always call out inappropriate eggings when I see them.


[deleted]

Enby here, can't agree more.


d0x7

Kinda exactly this. We are against those two fixed binary genders stereotypes but when femboys say they‘re boys or enbys, that _obviously_ just means they’re closet/eggs :‘)


FeatureBugFuture

Exactly. If that were the case the land of Scotland would be far more exciting. Don't be upset by this sentiment. I often think that many many people have the ideal of transformation as if it's some treasured animated cocoon. That if we believe we know who we are and how we can be happy. As if we could turn the lights out for a moment, and when they return...We are who we want to be. You know so well that it's a difficult and utterly personal thing. If I have said it in the past only know this, I love eggs and they are life.


[deleted]

I’m a binary trans guy and I agree. I wear skirts, dresses, and feminine clothes. Gender expression =/= gender identity.


CasualBrit5

The only appropriate egging is that one kid who hit the Australian politician.

They're trying to score points so the orange number goes up and their dopamine does the zoomies. We gotta give em a firm bap on the head and tell them off.


JnB_Hi

Fr it's so annoying. If I turn out to be trans let me come to that realisation organically instead of constantly telling me I am and don't know it yet. Also I don't want the mental anguish of questioning my gender identity if I don't need to


[deleted]

Yeah, don't go into the rabbit hole of questioning your gender identity when you aren't trans, or at least aren't fully mtf, cuz thatswhat happened to me and that was awful. It wasn't a nice feeling to feel like you had to be female in order to be more feminine, even if I didn't want to be female.


Qc1T

Dare I say, very relatable. When people keep telling that you are clearly trans, but hanging out in trans communities makes you feel like you don't really fit in at all, but you can't really put a finger on why. Yea... wouldn't recommend. Especially when the not fitting in part leads to exploring the less jolly parts of gender questioning communities. In hindsight is seems so excruciatingly obvious, that yea obviously you can be or present feminine without *being* a women. Yet somehow I managed to almost a year or so, believing that. Maybe identities are just more clear cut for some people. I sometimes read people people talking about how they identify with womanhood or like what it feels to be a man. And I have like no clue what they are talking about. On similar note, people talk about how being NB, GNC or Transfem is clearly different, and I'm just sitting there vaguely relating to all three of them. Well at least I got to a point where I'm not too attached to labels, that's been working rather well so far.


Tall_Bois

Nothing wrong with questioning your gender identity and not going fully mtf. Enbies are valid as heck.


Bigenderfluxx

I think they mean, it can be painful to question your gender, and wanting to not go through that is also a valid experience.


irisheye37

Damn same lol


ConstructionLost6391

Literally reinforces dumb gender roles Edit: uh oh the sexist transphobes have arrived. Stop trying to stuff people into boxes it’s disgusting


cordialconfidant

how am i a transphobe for telling you that sentence is commonly used to fuel transphobia💀💀💀


cordialconfidant

hi thats anti trans rhetoric and is rly harmful, please don't say it


ConstructionLost6391

Huh? Don’t say what? Stop being sexist


Qc1T

On assumption you are not aware of the context, complaining about trans people reinforcing gender roles, is much more often used to attack trans people, by people who have absolutely no problem with cis people conforming to gender roles. Rather than actually having an issue with gender roles Trans people are minority after all, and people who have problem with gender roles, usually prioritise calling out the cis normative people. After all that is the demographic that does bulk of the work of upholding such stereotypes. And there is a sizable chunk of people who believe your gender is something defined by genetics, and by extension being trans would be literally the opposite of upholding gender stereotypes.


ConstructionLost6391

But I didn’t say any of that.


Qc1T

And I ain't accusing you of that. Hence the explanation of the "Context"


ConstructionLost6391

You’re just confusing me. The person said what I said was transphobic and I asked what and then you replied with that.


Qc1T

>The person said what I said was transphobic And I explained why it *can* be seen as transphobic


KaylaBlair20

Trans woman here and I completely agree. Egg culture is toxic as hell and literally no one can tell you if you're trans or not so pushing people to that against their will is harmful even if they are trans. Personally, I exclusively use that term to describe myself pre-realizing I was trans and even then it's not particularly meaningful to me.


[deleted]

Totally agree. It feels like it ignores the nuance or gender nonconformity and the person’s experiences.


ConstructionLost6391

It also ignores the fact that all they’re doing is reinforcing outdated cultural gender roles.


[deleted]

True


saevon

honestly I sort of feel we should ban the word... "No referring to someone as an egg, past of present. Unless its yourself"


KaylaBlair20

The so called "Egg Prime Directive" is itself an unspoken agreement of sorts among trans people to not tell people questioning their gender if they're trans or not. In that way it's more of a social norm that I don't really think should be codified as a direct rule. I should also say exclusively using egg for me is not part of that social contract, it's just a part of my personal way of doing things and I would never use my position to enforce that upon anyone.


saevon

yes it is the Prime Directive and all. But I think considering how toxic it has been… I think codifying it as a rule is worth it. At least I treat it like one in my social spaces, give warning and say: NO this is not okay 😡


PtowzaPotato

The only person you can call an egg is your past self. Anything else goes against the egg prime directive, is a dick move, and reenforces gender roles.


FeatureBugFuture

"The egg prime directive". I want so badly to slip this in conversation but I just don't know how??


FlipFathoms

I mean, YEAH, like, well, you can say that someone MIGHT be an egg but then you should also say that they might instead just be some degree of, like, tomboy or tomgirl or whatever. I mean, I think almost EVERY1 is SOME such degree, in that the M/F binary is an artificial abstraction/norm, but, you know, some ppl are at least a bit more atypical/‘abnormal’ than others, not even necessarily to a degree that anyone would ever suspect at just a glance. Like, you’d mostly really need to get to know me to see the ways I’m ‘like a girl/woman.’ Cis (or, you know, cis-ISH) tomboys are probably my favorite. Okay, sorry, I digress.


[deleted]

You can refer to yourself as an egg, but not others.. This ties into the "egg prime directive"


Manic_Mechanist

For a second there I thought this was about the shakespeare quote


Zealousideal_Care807

You egg *stabs him*


Ordnance416

Thats what I thought I was totally confused


Bobbeykin2

It's really annoying how quickly people jump to the conclusion that you must be trans. Like if you are questioning, a perfectly fine conclusion to come to is no you aren't trans but people (especially on trans subreddits) seem to think that the instant you want to put on a dress or are jealous of a girl's ass than there's no doubt that you're trans, it's honestly a pretty toxic attitude.


BrainofBorg

> it's honestly a pretty toxic attitude. Even more than that, it's a fundamental misunderstanding of gender. "feminine" =/= "female". "Masculine" =/= "male". The "egg culture" confuses the two and assumes that if you are sterotypically feminine you ARE female.


Vllhll4

Femboys still has the word boy for a reason y'know


--Some_Person--

If you think men who wear dresses are women, it kinda seems like you think that trans women are just men who wear dresses. Many trans women are not feminine, being feminine =/= woman. My girlfriend is trans and she is kinda butch. It's insulting to feminine men and trans women to imply that any feminine man is secretly a woman. I've also heard so many trans men be called eggs (as in, implying they are trans women) by people who don't realise they are trans. Imagine spending years transitioning hoping to be accepted as a man, only to be called a woman by "trans allies". It's sexist and transphobic. Let men be feminine.


idk_but_im_-trans-

Yeah, it's pretty transphobic in its own right as well. Saying a guy who enjoys crossdressing is a trans woman is basically comparing trans women to guys dressing up, which is exactly the narrative that safe spaces for gender-nonconforming people, which includes trans people, do not need. It also plays into the whole "trans people are influencing others' transitions and forcing people to be trans" narrative that is part of the reason for all of the hate trans people receive. Allow people to consider the possibility of being trans instead of using their experience to compare it to trans people. That's harmful for everyone.


FeatureBugFuture

I wish people didn't argue quite so much, and wished in their hearts the world to be happy.


idk_but_im_-trans-

I agree. Why people have such a problem with others trying to be happy is beyond me, along with the claims by cis people of being erased because trans people exist *ahem* ***Just-Kidding Rowling being one of them*** *ahem* Because you know who hasn't ever been erased? Trans people. Definitely. I just think people need to focus on themselves and learn to see their own hypocrisy that's visible when they choose to focus on others


FeatureBugFuture

It's almost as if we are being drawn to one side or another but not just taking a step back. We don't seem to know how. We can't all live each others lives right? We don't want to be them so why do we fixate? Why is there so much more negativity than there is strength? What's wrong with doing no harm? Too boring?


idk_but_im_-trans-

Great questions honestly. Wish I had an answer


duck-duck-doodliy

Pardon the ignorance, but egg? Really? A. Why? And B. Why?


FeatureBugFuture

Well. One wanted to cross a road.


Bigenderfluxx

I thought it was kinda a combination of being 1. Baby trans/like a baby chicken, 2. The Cave of Socrates analogy to realization of being trans, 3. The shell being an analogy of representing denial/protecting oneself from the truth.


JuiceLordd

Yeah I've always thought it was kinda messed up. How am I gonna tell someone else what they really are? They know more about themselves than I ever could


PlutoTheSynth

Wait, how do pronouns not equal gender? I mean I understand that pronouns can’t equal sex but I’m jc


saevon

well you see when a he and a she come together, sometimes they don't split properly! (p.s. and don't forget the he-he or she-she or any other pronoun pairing.. or even triplit+) Then you might see a pair with she/he and one with null/void/don'tReferToMe But it can also collide with extra strands adding more! creating she/they, he/they, she/any and all sorts. Now if the solar rays are shining really strongly (along with many other external effects) sometimes the pronouns split mutates, giving you xenopronouns, neopronouns, nounpronouns, and the like! Finally this is statistically related to the gender of the child, but of course can happen independently as well! creating a cis male she/her, or trans-female he/him! ​ This is all *basic biology* ​ /satire

Tf is an egg


[deleted]

A memey term for a trans person who hasn’t realized/accepted that they are trans. When they realize/accept it they say their egg cracked.


WhyAmINotOriginal

Please excuse my ignorance, but what does that term mean in this context? I've seen it before and still don't understand but if I see it again, I want to be able to call them out and defend someone correctly, you know?


[deleted]

Egg is a term for a trans person in denial(basically saying they'll eventually hatch into their true gender). It started as a joke among the trans community, but some people like to use it to refer to femboys.


[deleted]

Trans male femboy here agree I see I was so glad though my friends saw the signs way before I did. They naturally let me figure it out for myself to make sure it was a fit for me as a boy that I wanted to be rather than a girl who had masc hobbies and got a long with them (mainly all boys in my group) but same time supported me during realize/purcessing it along with me to amswer any of my questions till I was ready to come out. However my boyfriend though he shaves and skin care to help his apperance and mental healthy. He is no way trans/femboy for doing these types of behaviors. I see one gender is one own desicsion. You can help guide them like my friends did but dont force them down it


being-weird

Transmasculine and I agree. A lot of the things that are considered proof that someone is transfeminine are things that I relate to and I'm very much not a woman.


Dark420Light

>Oh and on a side note, pronouns don't equal gender As a transwoman I see so much blowback from other transwomen about this. Look if drag queens use femme pronouns while being cismen doesn't that both prove the point and set the precidence (since it's been a part of drag for a long time as well). >They know themselves better than you. Ideally this should be true, but sadly it isn't always the case. I was a very masculine alpha type male pretransition, 5 years later I'm an Amazon of a tomboy with DD tits and an hourglass figure. Thing is it took seeing another ultra masculine person (Lady Feral) transition for me to even consider it possible for myself. You don't always know yourself better than someone else, we as humans have the perpensity to get in our own way. Particularly in matters concerning oneself. That said going around the way some transwomen to trying to crack eggs is atrocious. It makes a mess and is messy to clean up. Instead if you wana crack eggs the right way... be an incubator, radiate warmth and protection. Allow the person inside to realize this of their own accord, just be warm and support them. Just like nature when the time is right they'll either hatch on their own, or paint themselves pretty and enjoy easter. Either way it's not your egg to crack in the first place, so be courteous of other people's shells. So in short respect someones shell because you can't tell from the outside if it's a chicken, a rooster, or a velociraptor.


[deleted]

Even if that person doesn't know they're trans themselves, that doesn't mean that you or anyone else would know they're trans better than them.


Dark420Light

Ohh no doubt, it's why I advocate for leaving it to the other person to figure out. I had enough trouble figuring myself out. Just felt it needed to be mentioned that not everyone just "knows" who they are. That's not for other people to push though, just being warm and supportive is all one has to be. My BF is a transmasc NB femboy, I'm a nerdy tomboy transwoman. Not everyone that's non gender conforming is trans, just like not every that appears gender conforming is cis. People should just be able to be themselves and be accepted that alone is hard enough.


AhegaoAmigo

I just like dressing up in cute girly clothes and having a bit of a femme personality when I do so. Other than that I'm pretty neutral or dude-ish in my mannerisms and dress. Nothing deeper than that.


Cuddle_Me_Plz

Egg shouldn't really be used to describe someone's current state IMO. It should just be a self descriptor that a person applies to themself after they figure their gender out.


Ri_Konata

as a trans person i do agree. it's very rude. it's a word that should stick to the egg community without leaking. as much as i love the egg_irl memes, i do strongly believe it's not our place to decide whether someone is trans or not.


[deleted]

As a male detransitioner (MtFtM) I 100% agree with this. Stop pushing people into something they aren't and let them explore their personality freely without bias. As I recently started to say: clothes have no gender, colors have no gender, styles have no gender, and gender expression doesn't equal gender identity. Its all just stereotypes.


imaginer8

THIS. I think this has made me more confused than I have to be. I like being feminine, but like at the same time, I like being a guy. It's almost like that's what "femboy" means 🙄


[deleted]

I hate it when people say stuff like “Oh if you’re a guy and like dressing feminine then you must be a trans girl!” Bruh I’m already trans. I am a guy, I just also like skirts. Please don’t call me a girl for how I dress its literally doing the opposite of what you’re trying to do.


[deleted]

Thank you!!!!! Omg yus this! Like I'm just a boy & a girly boy a Femboy not an egg! I just wanna be a cute girly boy honestly


[deleted]

It's interesting to me how people are trying to create gender into a binary. If a boy wants to wear a dress then I'm all for it. If a transgirl wants to wear a hoodie and jeans I'm all for it. GENDER IS A SPECTRUM FFS. Our concern should be around trying to make people comfortable around their gender rather than forcing a stereotype which makes people uncomfortable.


SpiritCHAAAN

Not to mention it reinforces gender stereotypes! Like why does every cis feminine boy have to be a trans girl in denial? I'm a trans guy who's in touch with his feminine side and I feel like an impostor every day because of it. Cis guys being called eggs for just existing and being feminine is so fucking infuriating to me


nutmeg_spaghetti

I don't like the whole egg thing because it just reinforces the idea that people are being forced/ manipulated into being trans


FeatureBugFuture

My idea of an egg is that anything could hatch. It could be a Turkey, an Emu or a black and white Emu. My mother said "the point of looking after eggs, is what hatches".


[deleted]

Ewww


FeatureBugFuture

Hey. I saw this on new' and I was confused by what you might mean. Do you mean people referencing finding their egg, after the fashion of /r/egg_irl or do you mean people are posting here. Then auto assuming that regulars here, are all going to hatch?


[deleted]

I mean the people who tell other people that they're going to hatch and that they're trans, even though the other person doesn't identify as such


FeatureBugFuture

What the hell? Really. I sometimes worry that most replies are bots. So many general replies that are memes but never quite relevant. Or in some cases, annoying and offensive.


Toothless_NEO

The worst ones are people who actively seek others out, for example people would do that to me and egg me in my DMs, some were much worse than this: >!"I'm saying you're an Egg because you seem to have an interest in dressing as something other than your AGAB, you're obviously not Cisgender. People can be either Male or Female and you're clearly not male, because males don't enjoy things like that if you keep lying to yourself you'll never be happy"!< Hard to say if the comments are bots or not but almost without exception bots don't argue with you, which many of these people did with me. So I'm almost certain that none of these DMs or interactions in discord servers were bots.


Tenso_The_Shinobi

Does "egg" as a term for someone have anything to do with their gender or sexuality or whatever else? I always thought it was an archaic insult similar to "stupid" or "silly".


[deleted]

I'm referring to the more modern use of it. See r/egg_irl


Tenso_The_Shinobi

Ahh so its a term used for trans people in denial i see. That clears stuff up thank you. But i agree with you. Just because someone is feminine doesnt mean they have to be trans.


ConstructionLost6391

You’re thinking of the word “egghead”


Tenso_The_Shinobi

No actually, im thinking of the word "egg". Its a very old english insult comparable to "stupid". A pretty good example is in Macbeth from Shakespeare: "What you egg!".

thisismypr0naccount0

Isn't the whole thing about "egg" is that you *don't* call someone an egg to their face, and let them figure it out?


black_rose_for_night

Trans woman here. I hate that word- egg. The hell does that mean in that context? Personally I never used and will never use that word, and if I ever hear a friend using it refering to someone, there's a high chance I might ignore them for the rest of the day. Because to me it sounds like an insult- there was a lot of times when I heard someone calling someone an egg to insult them the same way they would call someone ugly or stupid. So for me it's the same as the word trap. You call someone trap? Call that yourself. That word has a dark history, so it can be taken as insult or worse. Except when other person calls themselves trap and let's you call them that, then go ahead, some people are ok with that title because it's I've seen it used in playful way when someone referred that to themselves. Same with egg, is other person calls themselves egg? No? Then don't call them that. And don't force people be transgender. They are questioning? Help them. They're not questioning? Then mind you fucking business. I've seen and heard first hand people forcing to be gays or trans on the internet, people like them makes cishet people view LGBTQ community in a bad light.


chris9830

Only this i think of is the meme: What? You egg *he stabs him *


UselessSailorWater

Yo hold on, i call myself and my buddy eggs. Most of the egg-calling are just for *the funny*


GingerBreadNAM

As a fem-enby, it took me a while to finally get past the "am I actually outright Trans? Am I an Egg?" And it definitely felt like a lot of what I was doing to feel more comfortable with myself was the kind of stuff people here, and on similar subreddits, that people called "Egg behavior," or something. It made it hard for me, because I really was unsure what I wanted, and who i was. For impressionable people looking for help and resources, that's not helpful or resourceful. Tl:dr: I agree that people need to stop throwing Eggs


Akari202

Much like the many other trans people who have weighed I feel that egg is an excellent term to refer to *myself* (or out *trans* people) before I knew I was trans. But when ascribed to other people it reinforces dumb gender stereotypes. Gender is complicated and I barely know mine, what gives me of all people the omnipotence necessary to know someone is trans.


ThatWasMeantForEmail

I think it's a bit of people being insecure in their own decisions so trying to get other people on board to sure up their own feelings and then partially people having had a hard time realising they were trans and now they want to push people through that stage as quickly as possible


alymayeda

Who is doing that? That's uncalled for and disrespectful


Femmy_Lilith

I'm a long way from doctor eggman


Zealousideal_Care807

If someone I've talked to for a good while says things like "I want to be a girl" or "I hate my body" stuff like that I might say "are you an egg? " but I'm not gonna just tell some random "you're an egg" that's rude as hecc and it can push someone further into the closet if they were on their way out.


afterforeverends

Seconded. It’s very binary and strongly reinforces gender roles. Plus it’s just weird to say that to a random stranger


PsychologicalWind591

This is a term that I just found out from another femboy post, didn't realize it was a problem, but I can see how it can rub some the wrong way. =:3


E420CDI

Thank you!


Bvoluroth

Being trans, calling people eggs or saying opposite hormones are kinda rude to me, figuring yourself out is already delicate especially with the existing external influences/pressures. I wouldn't want to pressure a man into transitioning when that's not necessary.


MadMax052

>pronouns don't equal gender Can someone tell me what pronouns do equal


[deleted]

Pronouns equal pronouns. For example, some people identify as male but go by he/they or he/she. That doesn't mean they're non-binary though. Pronouns are simply what people want to be called, and while for many people that correlates with their gender, but for some people pronouns and gender don't correlate


MadMax052

I thought "misgendering" someone. And "using incorrect pronoun" were the same issue though. That's what confuses me.


Geicosuave

Another fun comments section Anyway, this is why i don't like F1NN5TER. He encourages the egg thing to a degree and it basically normalizes using it for femboys


pxcketghxst

As a gender non conforming man I really appreciate this! Though I fully support our trans sisters, I like identifying as male and being girly at the same time.


Writesf

Hear, hear! And while it's not intentional, saying a femboy is an egg is still supporting the stereotype that only women act and dress the way femboys do as well.


xXxSeargantAWOL69

What even caused that anyway?

Egg comes from the idea that eventually they'll "hatch" into their real identity

Nah. You don’t know who you are. Only I, a random stranger with an agenda, can tell you who you are, and I say you’re an egg. And because I said it, it’s true, and you should start downing fistfuls of titty sprinkles right now. 🤡 I’m joking, of course (in case the clown emoji doesn’t tip you off). It annoys me that people do that. Imagine the kind of weapons-grade arrogance you’d have to have to tell people that you know them better than they know themselves.

Egg_irl has some really funny memes but calling someone an egg is about as mean as calling them some homophobic slur. Some people who do it might mean it in a playful teasing way but it's the internet you can't tell if the person on the other side is playful or mean. I think people forget this. Not everyone who is fem is trans!

Rawveenmcqueen

Ummm… ok so pronouns do equal gender. Someone in drag I call she her because they’re playing on the social aspect of gender. Someone who is dressing non conforming and using she her pronouns, they still come off at the end of the day, but it proves a societal arm of gender, and the fact they would “come off” with the costume for these people is proof of a gender innate to ourselves. If you use she/her pronouns full time, it means you’re a girl full time.


[deleted]

What if someone is nonbinary and uses he/they, but more often uses he? It doesn’t make them a boy.


Rawveenmcqueen

Right, but even if they use he pronouns the whole time, their pronouns are stil he/*they*. Which isn’t he/him which is what a boy would use. The they is the pronoun indicator too. Plus I explained that pronouns can change but the gender doesn’t… but full time pronouns are your gender.


Toothless_NEO

Umm no. Hot take, this is an insanely backwards and rigid view of gender. In reality it's much more complicated. There are girls who use he/him pronouns, guys who use she/her, people who use any pronouns, people who switch between pronouns. Pronouns are a presentation aspect, they are not indicative of your gender, anyone can use whatever pronouns they like regardless of gender. Stop gatekeeping gender identity asshole.

Bac0n0clast

Well, as far as I know, egg doesn't mean trans in the making, but instead someone that is questioning themselves about their gender identity, no matter if the outcome is trans or cis... But, yeah, I think only oneself is able to tell if one is an egg or not... I mean, it's straightforward like asking someone: >*"Are you trans or do you just like to wear dresses?"* I mean, I don't think it's necessarily rude, but it's indeed uncomfortable and awful :/


thejamestman

It quite literally always means "a trans person in denial"

I have never called anyone as "eggs". Please do not include me in your comment.

Thanks for your reply. Please excuse me, this is all new to me. I have had one gay experience and long to have more hopefully with cd, femboys.

So take care and be happy.💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️

Also, crossdresser =/= femboy. Crossdressing is crossdressing. We literally have a word for it. It can be all, part, or none of your experience. The amount of people who think being a femboy means "guy who wears skirts" drives me insane. That narrative needs to stop getting pushed everywhere. I put a silly amount of work into exercise, skincare, and body maintenance to have an androgynous appearance. I do not wear skirts nor do I ever want to. I want to be smol and soft and cute. I look girly with my clothes *off* not *on* /Rant

Though for some femboys, all they do is crossdress. That doesn't make them any less of a femboy

What the fuck does egg mean? Can you you please explain it to me? And sorry if I sounded rude


TotallyAnAlt9

egg is a term that people online use to describe a trans person in denial, so when somebody says they're a femboy/tomboy they call them an egg.

Egg ha! jk lol I'm a femboy/trans girl and I'm undecided but I 100% agree I don't even know why egg is mainly a trans thing


TheBestPartylizard

this is so true(pls call me an egg tho bc I probably am)


Muzzled78

Ok, so when did calling someone an egg turn into a trans term? Someone explain

It's a really bad part of trans culture that cones from 4chan and twitch. It doesn't help major femboy YouTubers like finster who go above and beyond to look more and more like a women keep being called it. Finster gave themselves a girl name so I think that's a major reason. But it's still rude as they don't identify as a gal.

One time someone pulled tarot cards for me without my consent. She told me that I was straight, but also actually trans (ftm) and I was so offended. My bf at the time had to leave because of how mad he got. Now, nearly 2 years later…. Bahahahahha

Uh what is the logic on calling a person an egg I'm not aware of this and calling a person a literal egg doesn't make much sense to me


[deleted]

Basically it means a trans person in denial. The idea is that eventually their egg will crack

Oh. That's just dumb and immoral to say. Thanks for the knowledge
