!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.

  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]

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.

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.

Description: A meme in two pictures and two text boxes. The upper image shows an anime-style character, joyous and smiling, surrounded by twinkling stars. The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans."
The lower image shows the same character, staring in despair, surrounded by darkness. The text next to them says: "You realize you're trans."

Bottom one is me when I realized I'm Isogender and that people will strugle to understand and recognize me. even in queer spaces πŸ˜”

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I feel being isogender is reasonably. I have not heard of it before, but it seems like it's just not decisively male or female, while still swinging more to their assigned sex at birth.

Am I understanding this right?

[–] FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It can be like that, I feel kind of like that since I do have some small connection to being male but also a strong lack of connection to gender at all.

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm the same way! Thanks for teaching me that there's a word for what I've felt. :)

[–] FirstMajesticComet@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Glad I could be helpful, if anyone is interested I made a community to discuss Isogender experiences !isogender@lemmy.blahaj.zone

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 1 points 1 week ago

Awesome, thank you! I've subscribed πŸ’–

Hey you're not alone.
Although I won't pretend to fully understand who you are, I'm not even sure I do my own self.

I had never heard of isogender, but kinda relate to.

I'm not trans, but I don't feel cis either.
I have both masculine and feminine sides, although they're not exactly clearly defined, it's definitely there.
I don't feel gender fluid either, in the sense that I'm always somewhat all over the place like this, which is something that doesn't really change.

I guess isogender is not mutually exclusive with other labels, although I mostly dislike labeling myself, which feels arbitrarily restrictive.
I guess, in a way, maybe that makes me somewhat agender, in the sense that I feel like the concept of gender isn't much relevant to who I am as a person, although it's also not absent either.

I don't really know how to describe this, but labeling myself always felt weird.
It's like people expect me to fit on a horizontal male-female axis, but instead of being in a single spot I'm a Jackson Pollock painting stop-motioned mid-throw in zero-G.
