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.
okay I do agree that calling people eggs is problematic, but this argument sucks. You canāt both ask me to treat FtM people differently from men and ask me to treat them the same as men. The reason you donāt call someone an egg is because their gender is none of your business.
I thought the point of this was to treat them both the same. If yes, youāre not cool for invalidating two peopleās genders, if no, youāre still not cool for invalidating one personās gender. Maybe Iām misreading but I donāt see your comment represented in the meme.
Disclaimer: I donāt really believe this ā but the counter-argument would be to the one on the left: āwhy does it matter if the man is trans?ā (which is a numbskull counterargument, but it fits in the context of the question on the right.) Itās just dumb to put those two boxes next to each other IMO because it draws a very stupid venn diagram.

I think the point of bringing up trans men is that sometimes people say that calling cis people eggs is harmless because youāre at worst making someone in the supermajority briefly uncomfortable, and potentially helping someone whoās trans figure themselves out. The point of bringing up trans men in this image is to point out that this argument misses how this attitude still ends up hurting trans people.
Even if Iām right about the intent though, I agree it doesnāt come through that well, and Iām still feeling like this guess is a stab in the dark.
