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.

How can egg_irl memes then work? Seems like there’s a fine line with them.

Eggs and hatched eggs post memes about being an egg or questioning their own gender. Other people seeing the memes may or may not relate.

The issue is in telling someone they are trans. Read this if you’re really interested, the first section is about the egg prime directive and explains this concept and why it’s important really well: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/am-i-trans

Self-proclaimed eggs realize they might be not-cis; but they haven’t found themself yet. Or are in the denial phase. Or many other things.

Our shell show cracks, but we haven’t hatched yet.

Memes about calling others eggs are often controversial. Most of the memes are either just general trans memes that aren’t really egg-specific or people making fun of their own egginess.
