      Frankly idgaf about the prime directive (edit: this is perhaps an exaggeration, I meant I wasn’t necessarily referring to the prime directive) , but as an enby person, I think going around saying “doing this makes you an egg” is pretty antithetical to people not wanting to be judged for not complying with the gender roles that correspond with their assigned gender.

        I’m an enby too, and the point remains! I think what gets lost in translation here is that “hey, this is kinda eggy” =/= “hey, you’re an egg”. At this point, I’m really starting to see this is as a willful misinterpretation by reading the former AS the latter (not saying you’re doing this, but a lot of the self-hating folks who see transness as some sort of curse seem to be overrepresented in the population who react negatively to seeing anything as “eggy”)
