!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:

No bigotry.
No spam, bots, or vote farming.

Rules on Content:

No reposts.
No personal-life posts, bingo cards, quizzes, selfies, "trans/not trans" lists, picrew, or non-memes.
No visible names or usernames.
Do not post or link to pornography.

Rules on Post Titles and Tags:

Posts must be titled "egg_irl". An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between "egg" and "irl".
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]

Rules on Post Text:

Add sources for art.

Rules on Comments

If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.
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 cool—just say so.

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION]
Expanding Brain meme with two extra rows of boxes on the bottom.
1st row left: "I just like the outfit."
1st row right: Human skull with small brain.
2nd row left: "Something about her aesthetic is just visually appealing to me."
2nd row right: Human head with regular sized brain that has many lights glowing inside.
3rd row left: "I wanna be her."
3rd row right: Human head with regular sized brain that has many more lights glowing inside with great intensity.
4th row left: "I wish I was her."
4th row right: Human head with regular sized brain that has some lights shooting out past the head and none inside it.
5th row left: "I wish I lived in an LGBTQ+ safe world so I could discover myself sooner and be a weird-ass tomboy who liked girly things."
5th row right: Photo of the Helix Nebula (aka: Eye of God) in outer space.
6th row left: "i wanna be visibly me"
6th row right: The girl Sayori (from the game Doki Doki Literature Club) in her fan-made "Coolyori - Finger Guns Emoji" form pointing two finger guns to the left while wearing a Pale Pink colored short-sleeved shirt, CG Red colored bowtie in her neck-length hair, and two sunglasses with one raised mostly above the other. Behind her are the Chevron Queer Flag's lavender colors split vertically down the middle with Orchid on the left and Twilight Lavender on the right.
Entire left side: Boxes have a background of the off-white color Seashell increasing in opacity from 20% (barely visible) in the 2nd box to 100% in the 6th.
3rd to 6th row left: Tall image with 18.6% opacity of Rainbow Dash (from the series My Little Pony) in fan-made human form with hip-length rainbow colored hair and bangs, fully open Shocking Pink colored eyes, and a large smile posed with her right foot ontop of a Black & White soccer ball while facing the audience and wearing the following athletic wear:

A tall pair of Ocean Boat Blue & White colored boots with slightly taller rainbow colored socks sticking out.
A slightly pleated White colored mini skirt with a wide Sky Magenta colored vertical stripe down the middle and black underskirt shorts sticking out by maybe 4".
An open zippered Ocean Boat Blue colored short-sleeved jacket with a non-folded collar.
A mostly visible White t-shirt with a large image of a cloud unleashing a single thick blue, yellow, and red lightning bolt that's half covered by her folded arms. The left of which bearing an identically colored wristband.

Context:
Found myself experiencing a ton of gender envy yesterday while referencing this image of Rainbow Dash for something. Almost got intense. So of course I decided to spend hours making a meme about it. 📝🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♀️

I mean come on, who wouldn't want to be that. I'm a cisgender not-even-slightly-a-femboy and I lowkey get gender envy from that (insofar as I understand the term)
