How to get out of an uncomfortable egg culture situation with this one simple trick.

Real talk: Calling people eggs is a violation of the egg prime directive, and is considered invalidating as you are trying to say that a person is not the gender they identify as, that their identity is invalid. Don’t call people eggs, like ever, it’s extremely uncool.

    As a concept it’s a person that’s trans but hasn’t realised yet. Sometimes there are signs, which is where you might run into the mentioned situation of calling someone an egg. Experimenting with clothing made for women is a common/obvious one, but it doesn’t always mean they’re an egg. They might just like the clothing but still identify as a man.

    The etymology? I dunno.
