Rules on Post Titles and Tags:
Posts must be titled "egg_irl". An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between "egg" and "irl".

Rules on Comments
If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.

further proof that I am totally cis and should stay away from all things feminine
Why would being cis imply that you should stay away from all things feminine? I mean if you enjoy feminine things then you should do what you like, don't avoid things that bring you joy in attempt to conform to some made up standard.
I suppose it was meant to be /s
I was thinking about this and getting a bit jelous of artists the other week. I was thinking about my favorite musician and they have had a career spanning decades and all these songs come from personal experiences and thoughts and its like they can listen to their songs and think on who they were as they made it in a way that is infinitely more than looking at pictures of your younger self in a photo album.
