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.

    I fully agree with you here. Maybe it would be better to try to make it clear that egg is only for self referential use, unless the word egg is too corrupted to fix, in which case a new term is probably needed.

      I’m not entirely sure if it is, it might be, but it also might be fine. It might just be a matter of changing people’s hearts and minds to think differently and use the word correctly. Which is why I think it’s better to try and make it clear it’s self-reference only, and that policing and labeling others is not tolerated.
