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. Donāt call people eggs, like ever, itās extremely uncool.
Then thereās the sub Reddit and several Lemmy communities called egg_irl which accuse people of being an egg due to something they said or a picture they shared.
I think thatās where āeggā is used badly
Well it certainly isnāt 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 doesnāt take too kindly to it either.
But Reddit thoughā¦ yeahā¦ itās really bad there. Donāt 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.
Yeah, I like that one (egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone) as it is generally about fictional characters
Itās 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 donāt make them trans. That said, it can be tricky to not overstep bounds or imply the wrong thing. I think itās a force for good overall, but there are a few things to remember when observing it or participating in it.
