Meme Text:
Reminder
Being an Egg doesn’t mean you’ll inevitably come out as trans - it means you’re taking some time to figure yourself out, regardless of the result. Trans or cis, binary or nonbinary, gender conforming or not you’re always welcome here!
My commentary:
I saw this meme a while back and really liked it. I thought after the extremely turbulent events recently it would be a good idea to post this as a reminder for us all to remember what’s important, and to respect each other both before and after the questioning process, regardless of how people identify afterwards.
Remember that the egg must break from the inside, not the outside. Whether what hatches is the same or different, it doesn’t matter. It can only be more you.
Exactly, it is a personal journey, only the person can discover themselves, people can’t do it for them.
Aww thanks! You’re a good egg.
Well technically I’m not an egg and never really was one, I just never really had a gender (it’s called Agender) but thank you. Better to be a good egg than a bad egg.
It was a play on words :) A “good egg” is an old term for a nice or friendly person.
Ah yes, that does make sense.
Discovered minutes later: also relevant Shen comic.
I’m a cis man that doesn’t really “feel” like a man but I still feel most comfortable identifying as cis. Wondering if anyone can relate.
And here I thought egg means you’re into butt stuff.
It’s a very generic term, it’ll usually mean different things in different contexts. In the context of transgender it means a person who is questioning or it’s used to refer to a person in past-tense to before they realized they were trans and/or Nonbinary.
Sometimes though in a way that isn’t correct or polite, to refer to a person who is believed by others to be in-denial, without actually knowing if that is the case. This usage violates the spirit of our community and the egg prime directive.
