    Egg Prime Directive, you NEVER try to crack someone else’s egg. It is imperative to respect people’s gender identities always, that means listening to them, even if they don’t conform to traditional gender norms. If a person is taking HRT to look fem but says they’re male, then they’re male, it’s valid. No one has the right to argue that he’s semantically a trans woman, because gender identity is ultimately based on how one identifies, not ones actions, choices, or desires.

      Please follow the egg prime directive.

      So many people tried to tell me I was trans and I was but it just led me to me repressing memories and avoiding the topic. It was extremely harmful to me that all of my friends did this.

      What worked was someone sending me to a website and saying “read this, if you have any questions, I’m here for you and I have some answers and more websites.”

      It’s entertaining hearing some recently trans friends speculating on who they think is an egg… However it makes me wonder what happens when I haven’t been present.
