It’s not always like that, but it sometimes does become that. It often is just trans or closeted people memeing on their own behavior with the understanding that those behaviors don’t make them trans. That said, it can be tricky to not overstep bounds or imply the wrong thing. I think it’s a force for good overall, but there are a few things to remember when observing it or participating in it.

1. Do not call other people eggs. It is a term that can describe one’s own journey, but not one that can or should be applied to others. At most, sharing one’s own lived experience as an egg can help others reflect.
2. Sharing the experience of an egg does not mean someone is trans. Cis people can experience these things without wanting to be another gender.

Well it certainly isn’t on !egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone, at least not if I have anything to say about it. Anyone who does will get posts removed, or even bans handed out. The instance doesn’t take too kindly to it either.

But Reddit though… yeah… it’s really bad there. Don’t go on the Reddit communities if you value your sanity and happiness. Not just egg_irl but traa too, and I think even 196 on Reddit suffers from it unfortunately.
