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 thought the point of this was to treat them both the same. If yes, you’re not cool for invalidating two people’s genders, if no, you’re still not cool for invalidating one person’s gender. Maybe I’m misreading but I don’t see your comment represented in the meme.

      Disclaimer: I don’t really believe this – but the counter-argument would be to the one on the left: “why does it matter if the man is trans?” (which is a numbskull counterargument, but it fits in the context of the question on the right.) It’s just dumb to put those two boxes next to each other IMO because it draws a very stupid venn diagram.
