#like these people + chasers were a good chunk of the reason why i wasn't out as a tgirl sooner than i was

[reimu-enjoyer]

expanding on this a little, because i just want to say that this whole “egg culture“ crud is just effectively creating gender binary 2.0, which is naturally just doing more bad than good for everyone, including transgender people. like I’ve noticed more and more of these “egg” stereotypes carry over and be used on the trans community as a whole, and it’s just damaging. I’ve even seen overly online transfemmes be disgusted when they meet a butch trans lesbian, because she doesn’t fit into the “boymoder thighhighs fallout new vegas monster energy drink“ archetype that years of r/egg_irl memes have poisoned their brains with.

this behaviour does nothing but hold us back and also hold us to a standard that not all of us are comfortable with. hell, I even feel nearly dysphoric from my own community sometimes, because whilst I am very much femme and I am very much a trans woman, I also do not 100% conform to these stereotypes of both of those groups that these weenies make up. it’s not right that in a community who’s mere existence literally smashes gender norms, should I ever need to feel like I have to conform to a standard. 

I just wish that these people will just look at their own community for once, and see how stupid “egg culture“ is, and just cut the shit. because if anything else, even if these people don’t care about the rest of us, they should at least be aware that this whole culture plays right into the hands of transphobes who accuse us of horrible shit like grooming. legit, if it’s creepy and annoying enough for us, then lord knows what those who have fantasies of being violent toward us must think when they see this (spoiler alert, they see justification for their shitty cause).

calling every gnc cis person you see an "egg waiting to crack" even as a joke is not cool or funny at all actually it is extremely invasive and weird and you are just reinventing gender roles but making it "progressive"
