    Yeah, ALL cis males use dozens of filter apps to see what they look like as a woman and ask random strangers if they “think this girl is cute”

    Totally normal cis thing to do. Right guys?

    … Right?

    Ouch. Some egg memes make me feel really seen and validated but this just one just kinda hits way too hard and makes me sad. Still whatever (cis I guess) though, but despite lots of introspection and the realization that maybe changing something would improve my situation, age and lack of a current friend group/support system, years of depression, and the costs associated with a whole new wardrobe, the mental burden of learning to fit in in an entirely different way, and the difficulty of finding someone I can even speak to about these things makes everything feel so out of reach that I just feel even more despair. Idk thanks for your memes and presence here, I recognize the username and you’re a beautiful presence. Idk why I’m even writing this comment except I’ve had a couple drinks.

      It’s ok; this image is seriously a cognitohazard for eggs. It’s so brutally efficient at cutting through the internal excuses for not transitioning that it leaves you only with the practical considerations. Not having the social support or money to transition are reasonable concerns. Transitioning isn’t easy, especially if you have to deal with bigotry and medical gatekeepers.

      However, transitioning will do more for your mental health than almost anything. It’s not like age will stop you from enjoying the time you have left as the person you want to be. Fascism and transphobia have made my life so depressing recently, but I still don’t regret transitioning in the slightest. Even if I get killed for being trans, it was far better enjoying the few years I had than going the rest of my life as the empty husk I once was.

      Now I can’t speak for your situation. But I am transitioning at age 35, there so many even older people that have started to transition. If you can look at Reddit subreddit translater is a great resource to see you are not alone.

      You don’t have to a new wardrobe tomorrow. Hell I been transiting for a year and most of my women wardrobe is just fun clothes to wear at home that I think I would die if I was seen wearing outside.

      It is lifelong journey but you dont have be at finish line tomorrow. Start small finding something to try in peace and quiet. In my case was this black tull skirt that made me spinn as chield

    Wouldn’t mind having my rare occasional dreams to be more recurrent actually. Totally hot when they do happen.

!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.

Rules on Content:

  1. No reposts.

  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]
    • [CW: Transphobia]
    • [CW: Violence]
    • [CW: Weapons/Firearms]
    • [CW: Disturbing Imagery]
    • [CW: Fictional Egging]
  3. You may optionally include other tags, such as:

    • [Transmasc Meme]
    • [Transfem Meme]
    • [Nonbinary Meme]
    • [Gender-Nonspecific Meme]

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. Read more about this decision here.

  3. No Ewwphoria posts. Posts which contain misogyny, misandry, transmisogyny, transmisandry, or enbyphobia for the purpose of expressing euphoria are not allowed here. At best they bring anger to others, and at worst they may trigger people’s dysphoria. People who create such posts will have them removed and may be banned at moderator discretion.

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 cool—just say so.
