although honestly, the guys need unsettling compliments once in a while. they need to shake their entitled sense of security and to learn that they are loveable

    Sorry, didn’t mean to speak for you, it’s just a trend I notice a lot especially with genderqueer stuff.

    “I enjoy this generally feminine thing as a guy”

    And then a billion people come out of the woodwork saying things like “egg spotted” “who’s gonna tell em?” “Are you sure you’re male?” And that is absolutely toxic and harmful. So, I try to call out that sort of thing when I see it. Either they know who they are and are comfortable with themselves, in which case those kinds of comments can get real old real fast, or they’re not and those comments push them further away from exploring their identity. For trans people it’s called the egg prime directive, based off of the star trek principle of non-interference with developing planets.
