How to get out of an uncomfortable egg culture situation with this one simple trick.

Real talk: Calling people eggs is a violation of the egg prime directive, and is considered invalidating as you are trying to say that a person is not the gender they identify as, that their identity is invalid. Don't call people eggs, like ever, it's extremely uncool.

The hell is an egg?? I'm a fluid femboy and I stg we get so lost in semantics man like what is this? Is this really a thing thats affecting people?

An egg is a trans person before they've realized/accepted they're trans.

And we're discussing this distant niche slur over other topics in the LGBT? I just dunno man:/ like you'd have to be so deeply in the know to call someone this

it's not exactly about the term itself, but more that very often whenever a femboy makes it known that they are cis, people trip over eachother to reply with "for now" or "check back i 2 years and see if that's true" etc. implying that it's impossible for men to present femininely and just kinda reinventing the gender binary
