It wasn’t a good idea to call people eggs before and it’s an even worse idea now. That said, I hope “skirtcurious” catches on :3
A woke identity terms trivia contest on fox news? Jfc these people think about trans people more than trans people think about trans people.

You generally shouldn’t call people eggs, not only because it could scare them away from self discovery, but because only they themselves can define their gender. Calling someone an egg is essentially invalidating their gender, and regardless of context that shouldn’t be taken lightly. This “egg prime directive” is a good rule of thumb, but like the real prime directive, it’s not absolute and is often misunderstood. It’s less about protecting them from difficult ideas, and more about protecting them from you. You can easily mess things up and push people further into the closet, or you can simply be wrong about them being trans.
On the other hand, that doesn’t mean non-intervention is the right call, nor does it mean you can never tell them what you really think. Eggs almost always need knowledge about being trans, and sometimes they even need a more direct push. However, you can never decide for them; they always need to define themselves in the end.
edit: essentially, you can’t call someone an egg until they’re no longer an egg. It’s the egg paradox
eggsaggtly :3
In addition to the aforementioned egg paradox: it is okay to call yourself an egg, but it is not okay to call someone else an egg.
Egg_irl comes from me_irl, thus always referring to oneself.
I was skirtcurious in Jr high.
I’m more “dominatrix-curious” and “lingerie-curious” nowadays since I’ve hatched.
I cannot fathom a reason Faux would be reporting on this other than to make parents aware of slang terms so they can more easily punish their child for “being wrong”
Ya, I remember being disappointed in high school that the boys never organized a “wear the kilt to school day” while I was there. (I went to a uniform school). For totally cis reasons
That’s why I shared this here. People should to be aware of when the bigots learn our terminology. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t use the term egg, but we need to be even more careful about “egging,” as it was already a bad practice.
