I’m not an egg anymore, but I found this meme I made several years ago when looking through an old hard drive and wanted to put it on Lemmy.

Image description: Top text says “Me: 100% totally cis male.” Bottom text says “Also me: A girl with girl stuff and girl hair and girl clothes.” The bottom part is actually an image of a Minecraft skin that is posted on Planet Minecraft.

      Uh no, I’m not. I’m pointing out how trying to argue that actions semantically define a person’s gender identity is invalidating to a person’s identity. For example arguing that a male identifying person who dresses and acts fem is an egg, or that a transfem person who dresses, acts and presents masc is “faking it”. Both cases are invalidating to a person’s identity. I’m saying that egging is another form of invalidation because if we’re going to say that people’s gender identity is valid by identification we shouldn’t say that the gender the person is invalid because they aren’t behaving in ways that match the stereotypes. Sorry if there was a misunderstanding.
