I don’t think I need to say this but you should not go cracking people’s eggs, it’s misgendering and disrespectful and also violates the Egg prime directive. Respect people as the gender they claim to identify as until they say otherwise.

That sounds very dangerous and painful. There are easier and better ways to remove unwanted hair.

You’re very welcome.

From what I’ve read he isn’t, he’s just a femboy who likes to cross-dress. But in Traa everyone likes to claim that a person who does that must be trans, for some reason.

I know, I love it when people get confused because they can’t tell, though I do wish I didn’t also look like a kid because it’s kinda embarrassing to be asked by someone if my parents know where my parents are because they think I’m 12 or 14. (Should add that’s just bc of my genetics, I haven’t taken anything to change my appearance).

Nope but it very much annoys me that the games lack an NB option.

Ok yeah, I worded it a bit badly, I edited the text so it’s hopefully more clear.

No Invalidation Gender Identity. Specifically no calling people eggs, also known informally as egging, which is trying to insist that a femboy (or any other GNC person) must be trans due to being GNC

Basically it’s saying they must be a girl (trans) because they dress like one. Was a popular thing to do in r/Egg_irl a while back (at the expense of the femboys featured) which is where the term egg came from and why it became known as ‘egging’.

It is in general considered pretty disrespectful to fetishize transness, because it almost portrays trans people as if they are sex objects, as opposed to real people who should be treated with dignity and respect.

With what? I stated that I am not transfem and that if the circumstance in question happened to me it would make me unhappy and I would take steps to reverse it. Not really much more to say to that.

You sound similar to me, I’ve never thought much about gender and I dress very GNC (Gender-Nonconforming). Though I’m not sure I wouldn’t feel anything negative considering that the lack of a penis would negatively affect my life.

Also ignoring other feminine features because due to my genetic condition they probably wouldn’t be present anyway (Have a condition that affects my sexual development and essentially prevented me from going through puberty).

I think I read it as much more serious than it was intending to be, to me it seemed like the person was denying the idea of them being homosexual because they are conventionally “straight” now.

If I woke up as female, I am Agender so I’m not a woman because I do not identify as one. Essentially though yes, yes I would, because even though I am Agender having a penis is something that feels right for me.

I know that I’m going to get shit for this from people who don’t understand why something like this is important to me, but I’m used to it, NonBinary identities are much less recognized and often stigmatized (even in safe spaces 😔).

I kind of agree, the comments about masturbating to one’s self are a bit gross and kind of feel like they are fetishizing trans people, not cool people, not cool.

Not really a man (Agender and Intersex) but I am Male so I feel like I can answer this one.

I have a developmental condition which affects my body’s ability to produce androgens so for me I wouldn’t be much different aside from genitals since I never finished puberty and likely wouldn’t have then either.

Not as big of a setback or difference than it would be for someone else but not being able to pee while standing would be a very big negative for me and I’m not really sure what I would do about that (probably get a Phalloplasty so I can pee properly again).

More often then not I’ve seen where people who are trans are still attracted to the gender they were attracted to before, there are exceptions but most of the time that’s how it goes.

That’s a bit homophobic and dismissive towards another person’s sexuality. Another person who you don’t personally know might I add.

I think the best thing is to be there for them if they want to talk about gender issues but don’t be pushy about them coming out as one way or another. People will figure themselves out at their own pace. Suggesting the idea of possibly being trans is okay but it shouldn’t be pushy, if it doesn’t feel right for them it probably isn’t right for them, at least at the current time.

Don’t worry about it too much, just egg_irl/traa humor, lots of them like to poke fun at the idea of turning people trans but it’s a joke (it’s meant to be a joke, though sometimes people violate the prime directive and it becomes not funny anymore).

Nah the worst is when you don’t find it relatable or even understand any of it and people insist you do and poke fun at you (egging) sometimes going a bit too far, that happened to me. Wasn’t fun, but I did eventually figure out about being Agender (and Isogender) which really cleared up the mystery of why I don’t understand gender. Just kinda wish people didn’t try pushing the stereotypes so hard on me, was real frustrating and uncomfortable ya know.

Btw I know I’m replying to old comments, been gone for a while and trying to catch back up.
