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.
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.
