!egg_irl

!egg_irl is for widely relatable memes about questioning one's gender or being an egg (a trans person in denial) as well as other eggy topics.

If you are looking for a place to discuss something specific to you or especially if you need help or are in crisis, we have communities and resources that can support you linked at the bottom of this sidebar.

General Rules:

  1. No bigotry.

  2. No spam, bots, or vote farming.

Rules on Content:

  1. No reposts.

  2. No personal-life posts, bingo cards, quizzes, selfies, "trans/not trans" lists, picrew, or non-memes.

  3. No visible names or usernames.

  4. Do not post or link to pornography.

Rules on Post Titles and Tags:

  1. Posts must be titled "egg_irl". An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between "egg" and "irl".

  2. Posts that assume the viewer's gender and/or contain potentially triggering content must be spoilered and tagged at the beginning of the post title. Example content-warning tags that you can copy include the following:

    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transmasc]
    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem]
    • [CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary]
    • [CW: Transphobia]
    • [CW: Violence]
    • [CW: Weapons/Firearms]
    • [CW: Disturbing Imagery]
    • [CW: Fictional Egging]
  3. You may optionally include other tags, such as:

    • [Transmasc Meme]
    • [Transfem Meme]
    • [Nonbinary Meme]
    • [Gender-Nonspecific Meme]

Rules on Post Text:

  1. If possible, include an image description for accessibility.

  2. Add sources for art.

Rules on Comments

  1. If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.

  2. You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways. Read more about this decision here.

  3. No Ewwphoria posts. Posts which contain misogyny, misandry, transmisogyny, transmisandry, or enbyphobia for the purpose of expressing euphoria are not allowed here. At best they bring anger to others, and at worst they may trigger people's dysphoria. People who create such posts will have them removed and may be banned at moderator discretion.

Recommendations:

We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally coolβ€”just say so.

Wait, does that means that they are terrible at keeping cats!!!!!!

[–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nahh, everythings gotta go sometime. Cats just like to stick around their people :)

[–] haileyscommit@kbin.earth 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe they're the only ones who treat ghost cats right, cause no-one else can see them... so the ghost cats flock to them

[–] haileyscommit@kbin.earth 11 points 3 days ago

YES I LOVE THEM 😍

[–] mxcory@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Like, I am transfemme enby, but I have had the thought, "I want to be in a lesbian relationship." I am still trying to figure what my mind meant by that...

Advice or just thoughts would be welcome.

[–] haileyscommit@kbin.earth 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's the fun part about being nonbinary (or trans in general), none of this gender shit binds you. You can just be a lesbian if you want!

(the hard part is if you're not attracted to women*...)

lol

[–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

if you're seriously asking, it probably just means that you're a lesbian

[–] mxcory@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I really was being serious.

I have been Β½ jokingly telling myself that I better not figure out anything else about myself.

I am just trying to figure out what that means to myself. I know it is for me to figure out, but I still like external thoughts.

[–] amino@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

OK, the reason I was asking was because it's really that simple, not because you're being silly

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 days ago (4 children)

[–] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Totally a cis guy but also mood

[–] jia_tan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 days ago

Saaaaaaaaame

[–] MegaMichelle@a2mi.social 2 points 2 days ago

@haileyscommit

Same. I'd get excited because I would find out a girl I like is gay. My friends would be like "but you know that means she won't date you, right?" And I'd get confused. Oh yeah, why was this exciting to me??? πŸ€”
