Im so serious rn.
"But it's just a joke!" 1. Who's laughing? Because nobody's appreciating what you just wrote except for you. 2. The implications of your "joke" are that gender nonconforming behaviour and curiosity about how the "other half" lives are not normal, a phase, or must mean that the person is repressing something. Even if they are, it isn't cute of you to make jokes at the expense of THEIR journey, that they should complete in their OWN TIME. Otherwise that could push them back into the closet. Nobody's laughing except you, because you just made the whole room feel weird. We're literally on Role Reversal. Egg comments and the users that make them need a reality check. (And be banned, tbh.)
"It's harmless!" It isn't. The egg joke started in trans circles and was originally about looking at our own behaviour in the past, not making judgments about other people's. Trans people have a whole directive on not telling other people who they are (cus of, you know, what we've been through), so as a cis person you absolutely aren't welcome to coopt slang you don't understand and pass that judgment onto a stranger.
"Who are you to tell me what I should be posting on Beyonce's internet?" Respectfully, just because you have some cross gender feelings, doesn't mean you have it in you - or that it would even be beneficial for you - to consider a gender transition. Cross gender feelings are way more common than people want to admit. Just because you want to be a wo/man sometimes isn't enough, because everyone has felt that way at some point. Trans issues are in the spotlight, so even being aware and considering transition isn't enough any more to suggest someone might be trans. Everyone is naturally curious about a gender they've never been. Everyone. Wanting to experience the other side sometimes doesn't mean anything.
