  • In that case, it feels like the other two characters are metaphorical representations of the first person looking back at themselves as an egg and poking fun at how self-oblivious they were, so I don’t see how it violates such rule.

    Perhaps I’m projecting though cause no one assumed I was trans afaik until after I started saying or doing things to intentionally hint that I was an I wanted to get questioned (not told I must be a certain gender or trans, but just asked if I was trying to tell them something).

    I’m not sure the characters being fiction is a strong reason for the same reason “it’s just a joke” isn’t a good enough reason to justify jokes that promote harmful ideology via their assumptions. But there is certainly more wiggleroom with fictional characters and there is also the risk of trans erasure in fiction if taken too far imo.



  • They might not believe that and just be trying to gaslight/troll.

    They might have heard it’s trendy and gets you cool points and somehow don’t see how hard it could be.

    They could just think trans people don’t exist, therefore all must be fake.

    They could think you are a troll trying to make trans people look bad.

    If you are an NB, it could be someone who doesn’t believe in NBies or certain subsets.

    If you aren’t trying to transition medically, they could be transmeds.

    If you suffer from things like depression, they could think you are trying to look for an excuse to blame that on.

    Could be someone who is in denial themselves and part of their denial is believing certain things are normal for their agab and trans people saying it’s part of their trans experience challenges that. Similar to neurodivergent parents who deny their children’s neurodivergent because the parent think of themselfs as neurotypical.

    All kinds of excuses people could have for their beliefs. Pretty much all of them boil down to some level of transphobia.















  • Some people pay a lot of attention to what instances people are from. I think I’ve had someone who jumped to negative assumptions about me because of what instance I’m using and I think I might have seen like one person from this instance - I pretty much never see people using the same instance, so its weird imagining someone seeing it enough to have an assumption about the users.

    There are some servers that are a bit more tight-knit (hexbear comes to mind).


  • Socially, I see myself as agender, but it wasn’t until 2.5 years (and 6 months after I started HRT) after my egg cracked that I came out to anyone except my roommates so makes sense why my dreams are the way they are. I’m still only out to a few people, and ideally I’d rather not have people at work find out.

    I did have a dream recently where everyone started gendering me as a woman and dream-me liked it even though it acknowledged that people weren’t quite correct, it certainly was a lot better than being assumed a guy.


  • Transfem NB, egg cracked in my late 20’s.

    I think my dreams have almost always excluded showing my own body or gender. I remember having some dreams of being in the “wrong” bathroom and being worried about what others would think back in middle school.

    After egg crack, I started sometimes having dreams dealing with people finding out that I’m trans, but if anxiety about coming out isn’t the focus of the dream, then my gender usually isn’t really part of them. I might have like randomly had larger boobs than irl months after starting hrt.

    Even when referring to myself in third person to people I’m out to, I still default to old pronouns by accident most of the time. I rather I didn’t do that, but it’s not really a big deal for me. Find it kinda funny my dreams are more consistent about seeing me as trans/not a man than my own conscious language.
