"if it were me i would want people to help crack my egg" okay but are you a (micro)celebrity with hundreds of thousands of people parasocially scrutinizing your every move? how many transfem creators who started their careers as eggs have to come out and say "hey, strangers addressing me this way and thinking they're entitled to my personal life was dehumanizing and made it harder to come to terms with who i am" will it take for people to understand that this conversation is not just about their personal experience with their friends?

#as well meaning as you might be nobody is entitled to the mental real estate of fucking strangers!#this conversation started with chongo and scout talking about this extremely specific experience #and people have dragged it out to extremes because they cannot imagine an experience that isn't like their own #if you're integrated into someone's personal life and you can genuinely provide support for them then that's great!#but where the fuck in this telephone game is 'don't speculate about public figures to their faces'#becoming 'never ever try to crack anyone because you'll make a cis man uncomfwy'??
