How to get out of an uncomfortable egg culture situation with this one simple trick.

Real talk: Calling people eggs is a violation of the egg prime directive, and is considered invalidating as you are trying to say that a person is not the gender they identify as, that their identity is invalid. Don’t call people eggs, like ever, it’s extremely uncool.

    The whole egg discourse puts a bad taste in my mouth as well. I’ve referred to my past self as an egg and then had someone tell me to stop using that word because it’s groomer language. I’ve never violated the egg prime directive and never will, but I like using egg to describe my past self. However, now when I use the term I get worried because I just don’t want to deal with people who have a stick up their butt.
