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. Donā€™t call people eggs, like ever, itā€™s extremely uncool.

    I thought the point of this was to treat them both the same. If yes, youā€™re not cool for invalidating two peopleā€™s genders, if no, youā€™re still not cool for invalidating one personā€™s gender. Maybe Iā€™m misreading but I donā€™t see your comment represented in the meme.

      Disclaimer: I donā€™t really believe this ā€“ but the counter-argument would be to the one on the left: ā€œwhy 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.) Itā€™s just dumb to put those two boxes next to each other IMO because it draws a very stupid venn diagram.
