egg_irl — Memes about being trans people in denial and other eggy topics - Blåhaj Lemmy

lemmy.blahaj.zone

# !egg_irl !egg_irl is for widely relatable memes about questioning one’s gender or being an egg (a trans person in denial) as well as other eggy topics. If you are looking for a place to discuss something specific to you or especially if you need help or are in crisis, we have communities and resources that can support you linked at the bottom of this sidebar. General Rules: 1. No bigotry. 2. No spam, bots, or vote farming. Rules on Content: 3. No reposts. 4. No personal-life posts, bingo cards, quizzes, selfies, “trans/not trans” lists, picrew, or non-memes. 5. No visible names or usernames. 6. Do not post or link to pornography. Rules on Post Titles and Tags: 7. Posts must be titled “egg_irl”. An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between “egg” and “irl”. 8. Posts that assume the viewer’s gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following: * [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc] * [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem] * [CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary] * [CW: Transphobia] * [CW: Violence] * [CW: Weapons/Firearms] * [CW: Disturbing Imagery] 9. You may optionally include other tags, such as: * [Transmasc Meme] * [Transfem Meme] * [Nonbinary Meme] * [Gender-Nonspecific Meme] Rules on Post Text: 10. If possible, include an image description for accessibility. 11. Add sources for art. Rules on Comments 12. If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity. Recommendations: We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio [/settings] so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you’re questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that’s totally cool—just say so.

You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns@lemmy.ca

Rules

1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don’t be a jerk either

• Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.

2.) No Spam

• This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance’s rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.

3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences

• Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.

4.) No Selfies or Character Creations

• Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii’s are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.

5.) SFW-only

• This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.

6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed

7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not

• We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don’t, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.

8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners

9.) Use but don’t misuse the report button

• If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance’s rules, please report it.

10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums

• Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed

11.) Don’t be a jerk nor a troll

• Be nice, and don’t create social chaos. That’s it. Pretty simple, huh?

Some notes:

1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community

2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title

• For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: “[NB] Story of my life!” This will make searching for content much easier.

3.) Don’t break the law

• This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in

Sibling forums:

!egg_irl

• Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial

!196

• Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll
