While we are talking about that, wouldn't chrysalis be more fitting?
When the trans person hatches a beautiful butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.
Perhaps. I didn't make the analogy. Personally, as a completely cis person, I think they both work really well. Maybe there's some more significant meaning from another perspective.
They say that when the egg cracks, a cute chick comes out. Chick referring to both a trans woman and a baby chicken. Doesn't work for trans men but that's how the term started I believe.
