Exactly. This was then picked up by some (early/bad) AI bot that replaced "based or cringe" with "creepy or wet" which kind of started the meme of replacing key words in the story with similar words.
Meg's big toe here. Egg often refers to trans people before they realize they're trans. And a chaser is someone who seeks out specific types of people for fetish purposes. Trans chasers being one those.
Granted. However, with that has come an unhealthy obsession among some people who make such things their entire reality while being very intrusive about it towards those around them. And since the internet has made everyone "around" everyone else, that makes them very intrusive on everybody.
There's always 1% of every demographic that gets obsessive and doesn't respect boundaries. The issue is that a lot of people are singling out the trans/lgbt demographic in general more than others because they just don't like the idea of trans people on some basic instinctual level, and they don't realise they have pretty strong cognitive dissonance around the fact that all the logic they create is simply to justify an inherent ick they have. These people should perhaps spend more time having an ick for the people who 'intrude' on others about the many, many far more dangerous problems humanity's facing right now.
And at the same time, if someone is bothering me about flat earth conspiracy or religion or even something benign like an anime fandom, I can tell them to shut up and go away with minimal-to-no repercussions.
But being faced with the false dichotomy of either fetishizing trans people or being trans myself, if I tell them to shut up and go away, there will be a sizable cadre of people who believe I myself have your proverbial "ick" rather than just being annoyed by the individual.
The allies enabling the bad actors are far more of the problem than the general community.
It's gone too far, but labeling things is how we have the vocabulary to talk about them. Human brains need words. If something is identified as existing, it needs a name. And, unfortunately, humans being humans, we like to group things that we've attached a label to in the same box. It's actually one of our biggest superpowers, and it's how children learn about the world around them. But it can also go too far.
Example from this post: when I was growing up, I had no idea trans people existed, because there was no word for that. No label. It was a foreign concept. Then it was given a name, and that allows people who were trans to talk about their experiences. But it also allowed people who didn't know they were trans, who just spent their entire lives thinking something was fundamentally wrong with them and broken, to know that this is something that happens to other people too. Labelling it allowed them to conceptualize it, to learn about it, and to talk about it with others. More than that, it allows them to get the resources to do something about it if they so choose.
I think the problem is just humans. We need labels to understand things, but then the label often becomes more important than the thing it represented.
I’m thinking about things like nationalism, or children brought up in sectarian conflict “mummy, why did uncle have to die?” “well you see we’re X’s and they are Y’s - that’s what Y’s do to X’s, always have done, so we have to be strong and fight back against Y’s - so remember, never trust a Y - they killed your uncle”
Or of course - “you’re not a real [whatever] - there are 10 factors that makes you a real [whatever] and you only possess 9 - and you have 3 factors of [the thing we decided was mutually exclusive somehow] , so you’re just a fraud trying to undermine what it means to be one of us!”
Or like in my country, people born with a certain medical condition were formally labelled one thing, over the years that word became an offensive insult, so now they have a different name - which at this point is also used as an insult.
And the classic - calling someone a Jew - even or rather especially if you are actually Jewish, can be incredibly offensive or hostile.
Of course - then people start blaming things being labelled as being the problem, so now some people are labelling labels as being inherently bad instead of what is actually bad.
Humans just can’t be trusted with language or thought or the ability to construct abstract narrative or meaning.
Yea I just realized a couple years ago that I'm autistic...spent my whole life just thinking I was broken and there was something wrong with me but had no idea what it was. Turns out I was right, but now I have a label for it.
I disagree. Things were cheaper, you could actually live off a salary, buying a house wasn't a fantasy. The divide among people weren't so grand. Social media wasn't a thing so idiots didn't have as much of a voice as they do now. Video game companies were more concerned with making a good game instead of trying to milk you dry. 9/11 and fallout that happened wasn't a thing. We had presidents who weren't a joke. Full on monopolies hadn't formed yet so products tended to be good and affordable.
There were a lot of things in the 90s that made it better then the modern day.
By and large those are good points, and that's why reducing something to just "better" or "worse" doesn't really work. There's a bunch of stuff that was better, but there's also a bunch of stuff that's worse.
" Video game companies were more concerned with making a good game instead of trying to milk you dry."
What a huge slap in the face to modern day devs and looking through the past to rose tinted goggles. It's out right false
Gaming companies were absolutely trying to milk people dry. Do you have any idea how many bullshit peripherals they were releasing? Every week there was some new gizmo they were trying to sell for a hundred dollars. The power glove, the super scope, tons of controlers, the rumble vest. game shark, game genie, light guns, etc. Often they worked for one game.
Got stuck in a game? too bad, buy the magazine or pay for a help line.
The shovelware. My gods the shovelware, if a movie came out there were people trying to make a quick buck off of it. Or did you really think the people who made the Back to the future NES game really were passionate about making a game with three buggy stages with barely any connection to the movie.
Go get an emulator and look through the SNES or NES library. See how many you would pick if given the choice between modern day games and back then. Are you pikcing Paperboy or baldurs gate 3? ar youpicking Trog or Metal gear revengence? Are you picking Hades over james Pond?
I've been gaming my whole life, they were just as greedy back then as they are now. If the internet was around back then you would bet your ass they'd be selling DLC for donkey kong country.
And for the record, we have significantly more good games now than we ever did back then.
People were also openly homophobic, racism was even worse, and forget about being gender non-conforming. If you were a woman who dressed even remotely butch you'd be labelled a "dyke" and potentially cop a beating for your troubles.
Social Media wasn't present, no, but billionaire owned newspapers held disproportionate sway over countries politics. Professional rage baiting was still a thing, it was just in a column rather than on Twitter.
Also, the Gulf War, fallout of the collapse of the Soviet Union, and plenty of geopolitical instability.
The economy was better, for the most part, but there was a lot going on that made the 90's significantly worse than the modern day.
Of all of the fucked up shit happening in the world right now, this is the thing that triggers a reaction from you? Like really, what's the harm in this, and how does if make the world worse?
Declaring other people to be "eggs" is pretty creepy. Not really any better than telling a trans person they're wrong and they'll detransition, or telling someone they're wrong about their own sexuality.
So like there's two things going on here, and I will interrupt that teaser with the disclaimer that yeah there's always worse things going on, both those that are culminations of our cultural problems and those that are just people being evil. I won't take anything away from those things.
But we have a world where a lot of us are trying to steadily progress human rights, representative democracy, tolerance, separation of church and state. And not only have reactionaries worked against us, swaths of the population we want protected decide that we just aren't fucking edgy enough or that society and culture isn't complicated enough, that adults aren't bothered enough by what they are doing, or that they simply aren't seen and heard enough or lack a feeling of real identity or actualization and so we get all this stuff added on, invented, reinvented, disposed of, expanded on unnecessarily on and on and on, and it serves no purpose except to push critical segments into the arms of the fucking evil faction. Usually temporarily, but if you look at the last 20 years, we've had overall normalization of somewhat extreme cultural beliefs on both sides of this spectrum and a backpeddling of everything else.
And half of the content produced in favor of this culture war is meant to inflame, created by those wishing only to do this. Sometimes as trolls on the otherside, sometimes by trolls actually in favor, but still with the intent to elicit illogical emotion (as it's fine to elicit emotions that are appropriate to the situation).
So if you don't like what people are posting in response, keep in mind, most of this is intended by those who create the content, or intended by those who created similar content now being copied.
But these things rewire neurons and change the landscape and create more conflict where more people are hurt and ideals that were considered important 10 years ago become buried.
Try to see how it's all connected, recognize the state of our world, let alone the US, and it makes more sense. Some of us have been around a while and things are clearly degrading. The fucking traumas every time this electorate fails the good people has just piled up for so long now. Anyways, that's another post.
The stereotypical chaser is usually someone who will string a person along. They like the idea of having sex with/casually dating a trans woman, but don't want to commit to a relationship, so it's a lot of lovebombing and attentionbombing in order to get what they want without ever reciprocating like you'd expect any healthy relationship to be.
There's chasing, and then there's..... ADVANCED CHASING...,where a person is wholly fetishizing the person they chase and isn't interested in the human behind the fetish.
Its not about dating. Chasers are people who are only interested in sex, and lie about romantic interest to get in your pants. Its just a womanizer, a player, a lecher, a skirt chaser, all that with the added layer that it's about a specific fetish and not just hot women in general. And it makes dating when you're trans another level up on difficulty.
It's not really though? The joke is that the people who are actively interested in dating trans people (like swipe on dating apps) are often either queer/trans themselves or have a fetish for trans people. It's not always the case but is VERY common. So this person found a BF to date and it turned out their BF was trans but had not stepped into that realization yet at the time.
And more specifically, an egg refers to a M2F transgender person. The joke originating as "One day a chick popped out", although it has been more frequently used for F2M as well as of late
As someone with no say in the matter, I think it's an apt term that doesn't directly convey any negative connotations. I do like the added pun of the original meaning, though.
But yeah, the idea of someone being "closeted" for their preferences in others makes a lot of sense, as the imagery of only being able to indulge in the privacy of your own. Added poignancy for young people who often only have a bedroom and a closet to call their own.
Meanwhile, calling a trans person closeted doesn't fit as well. Usually they are unaware that there is anything hidden, until they "hatch" into their true identity. Usually at that point is when the harms begin because they have left the minor safety of that "egg" and are now open to the dangers of the world.
So...yeah. I always liked the terminology of an "egg" being a trans person in-waiting, so to speak.
Not everyone falls into these two groups, but I guess when you’re trans, it’s low key suspicious when someone is immediately interested in you because a lot of the people who are are either fetishists who want you because you’re trans and don’t care about you as an individual (chasers) or they’re trans but haven’t realized that yet (egg). There’s nothing wrong with being trans, but presumably this person is only attracted to men, and she is disappointed when her boyfriend turns out to be a woman.
Yes, and it's also a common joke because it happens like, a lot a lot. And yet we have cis people here getting offended over a trans woman's direct observation of a common experience she and others have had.
Giant chicken here, because I know all about eggs.
An egg is someone who is trans and doesn't know yet, or won't admit it to themselves.
A chaser is someone who dates trans people. Sometimes used in a derogatory manner, especially if they fetishize trans people instead of seeing them as people.
There is a stereotype that a large number of eggs date trans people before they realize they are trans themselves.
By using terms like this isn't it making it ok to tell people what they are? With this same logic all the people saying people really are "not gay they are just confused" are right.
So by this logic it's ok man. I know you think you are trans but you are really just confused.
I don't care if you are trans or not - just trying to show you how fucked up this logic is
Egg culture is extremely toxic, for a group that prides itself on removing gender labels and roles, trying to shove people into a label and role for acting non-standard to their gender is really gross.
people say that the queer community has been trying to get away from labels and boxes but I never understood that. it seems to me that the majority of trans people are and always have been trying to go "hey, actually i'm THIS label, by the way!" or lesbians have been fighting to go "hey, i AM this label, i AM a lesbian, i AM in the box of people who are not attracted to men."
we've always been pro label. it looks to me that the biggest problem has been people respecting them.
Entirety of whatever wave of liberalism we’re on. Everything has to be labeled and it has to be the CORRECT label and all the things and jfc can we just vibe
Tribalism is part of the human condition. There has never been a time or society without tribalism being at its heart. It’s why we are here, and the Neanderthals and Denisonvans are not.
This is my biggest problem when it comes to trying to fix the systems in which we live, mainly focusing on transphobia and homophobia in this conversation, but also addressing what I call "queer conservativism". The million dollar question we've been asking for decades now is "how do we stop hate?" And in short we can't. Our species has evolved to reference, categorize, and stereotype on the fly, because for thousands of years it's been the difference between life or death. In today's day and age though it's much more harmful on average to assume based on prior knowledge and the only way to fix the issue is balanced education and exposure to different types of people and situations. Unfortunately the current US administration isn't as dimwitted as they seem to be at times because they're aware of this and have been working hard for the additive six years now to deconstruct the public education system and make it harder and harder for international travel both in and out.
And there is fifteen opinions on what is the correct label, and every month new snowflake decides that it wants its own the most correct label which goes viral and the spiral goes on.
This is a result of unfettered internet culture where interaction is entirely based on text.
This has nothing to do with liberalism or progressive attitudes. The internet has caused everyone to label everything in order to advertise and search on the internet as a necessary condition to being able to utilize the internet in general.
Case and point: you never hear these terms offline, unless you're part of the specific audience that would use these terms, and only then if your in-person community has members that participate in online communities as well.
No one is using "egg" in a serious manner in person. It would be extremely cringe inducing to do so, for the exact reasons that others have pointed out. It's extremely anti-social to call someone closeted, which calling someone an "egg" is the most similar to.
I first heard the term "egg" offline, actually. I have a friend who is in uni for psychology, and her class is VERY stilted in its LGBTQ student numbers, according to her.
My friend is quite androgenous and doesn't act very feminine. A few of her classmates casually called her an "egg" to her face.
Perhaps those people are online too much, but I can attest to the fact that it can happen outside of social media. And it is, indeed, cringe as fuck.
Had someone call me an egg before as well, didn’t exactly like that. Especially since there’s no good reason for that, I don’t act or dress feminine, I’m just your average nerdy dude, feels like some people try to push you into it
That sucks, and was really rude to you. I admit im curious about the context. Like did they think it was funny to call you egg? Like they were in on something you didnt know yet?
Seems super demeaning to just assume you know more about someone than they know themselves.
I feel like we should probably only be using this term retrospectively not descriptively. Like "when I was an egg".
I feel like there is a weird like between being nice and propping up someone else's delusion. It isn't know ND or good to allow people you care about to live in fantasyland.
I think I mostly agree with you but with some caveats.
I agree that this doesn't necessarily relate to liberalism or progressive attitudes, but I think the boundary between the internet and real life is thinner than you give it credit for.
I also accept that the nature of the social media can lead to over labeling online. We can influence the direction, people as a whole, I also feel like we see a constant deeper and deeper churn on all of these ideas, sometimes with the ideas getting further away from how they started, and then we often see a greater sense of disconnection between people caused by the how the new ideas are just generally further away. And then we see real life being influenced by these ideas that went through this feedback loop.
I don't think it's a leap to argue that some people who identify themselves as progressives can be so influenced that they eventually feel the need to hold onto these ideas and truly live them to still identify as progressives, because there's a good chance that they see that so much from their own niche community online.
I stopped hanging out with a decade long friend because they became trans and were constantly accusing everyone in our group of being an egg. It was legitimately like being back in 5th grade where you couldn't say anything even slightly sideways without getting called GAY, except now saying something TOO masculine or TOO feminine would get me called EGG.
I consider myself an ally but I can't help but think that a huge majority of the trans communities problem is thinking everyone pays attention to gender and perception as much as they do. They wonder why they feel isolated when they can't shut the fuck up about it and drive everyone else away.
This happened to me with some people in my friend group and it drove me up the wall. I am comfortable with my gender, just because I like traditionally effeminate things doesnt mean I want to become a woman.
Its, ironically, an extremely bigoted thing to do to begin with. "You like female things so you must be a girl" is literally just the dismissive playground talk kids told each other when they were young.
I don't think it inherently is a problem with trans or LGBTQ, but online echo chambers. Most queer spaces online have turned into echo chambers where all anyone talks about is gender and sexuality and occasionally how great the USSR and north Korea. They spend all their time online in these spaces and forget how to interact like a human being.
Nah it’s always been an inherent problem with the culture. That feminine lisp voice some gay dudes put on is a great example of self-isolating behavior.
The vast majority of the time, no one gives a flying fuck where you like to stick your dick. They’re just trying to get through the day. Shoehorning your sexual identity into every interaction and putting it on full display constantly is just off-putting and inappropriate.
And that goes for everything, not just being queer. All your clothes have a weed leaf on them? Cringe. All you talk about is your jacked up truck? Cringe. Making your whole identity about one thing is just irritating no matter what that thing is.
Every neurotypical human gives cultural, gender or sexual signifiers that's not necessarily cringe that's just human behavior. It especially rational that gay men would want to publicly signify they're gay when the gay male dating pool is like 3% of the population at maximum opposed to 50% for heterosexuals.
Sure it’s rational when they’re looking for a date, but in other settings it often comes across as inappropriate and makes people uncomfortable. And again, that’s not exclusive to being queer. Wearing a 420 t-shirt to a business meeting probably won’t do you any favors either
Fuck, I hate that. Femboys are femboys, sometimes a guy just likes to look pretty, doesn't mean that he's trans for fucks sake. Maybe some are, but do I really need to pull out the old "#notall"?
Many trans people are ultimately in favour of gender norms and simply want to be on the other side of them, and hold distorted ideas about them as well.
Certainly not universal, but trans people are no more universally progressive nor level-headed than the average person.
I remember some guy said it would be okay if they were born girl and every single reply in that thread was saying they are egg and forcing it upon them, beauty of reddit
My rule of thumb is that it's ok to think someone might be an egg but it's wrong to try to push them one way or the other or out them. You only really know if they were an egg when they come out. It's best to only use it to refer to yourself before you realized you were Trans. You shouldn't refer to other people as eggs or dismiss them as eggs.
(keep in mind I'm not trans fem and people tend to use egg to describe trans fem people)
I think egg stuff started as well intentioned-trans people tend to show similar "flags" so to speak that might indicate their identity. Same could really be said for any lgbt identity. Or neurodivergence. Or literally anything that goes "against the norm" for lack of a better phrase. Trans people often see these flags in others because it's behaviors they exhibited as well. And of course there's room for error and one or two signs doesn't mean something, but if person a feels like person b is just them five years ago being brought back to life then there's probably a reason ya know?
The problem with it is people now take it and slap "egg" on anyone who is even slightly gnc even if they're a complete stranger and then try to force it on the person to their face. The key is to stick with people you are very close to like friends, family, and partners, and not force it on them to their face. Talk to mutual friends if you feel the need to, offer gentle guidance if the person is in need and expressed that need, and be encouraging rather than forceful and in their face. Otherwise if you do happen to be right you may end up just delaying their transition.
Yeah, I'm cis myself but had a very good experience where my best friend kind of helped me figure out I'm autistic. They were super gentle about it and mostly just talked about their own experiences figuring it out and getting diagnosed. It helped having that safe space to get over that knee-jerk negative reaction.
Some one I don't know seeing me tap my fingers on my leg and trying to tell me that I'm stimming and denying my true self? I'd have locked up and probably denied it for another few years.
I think the whole "egg" thing started because it was a more discreet way to ask someone when they figured out they were trans than just asking outright (especially if they're passing)
Saying "oh when did your egg crack?" sounds odd but its reasonable enough that people probably wont bother questioning it, saying "oh when did you figure out you were trans" quite openly outs someone as trans.
It kinda got co-opted by bad actors and made toxic for reasons other people have explained.
Thats my understanding of the egg situation but I'm not entirely sure.
Agreed. Also seems to reinforce the idea that a cis straight make would never date a trans woman which kind of goes against their whole thing of a trans woman just being a woman.
This is honestly the reason that I don’t tell people that I’m queer at all. Because no matter what I just end up pissing off homophobes because I’m not straight and I end up pissing off the community for merely existing as myself
I had a group of LGBT friends that we used to game and such. I don't really know what the big deal with any of this stuff is.
They all thought I was like closet gay or something because when they found out I was not, suddenly we couldn't talk or play games anymore?
I still play games with one dude from the group and even he doesn't understand. It's like they found out I don't go to brown town and decided I didn't belong. Was a friend group for over a year before the radical shift.
I'm just a dude doing dude activities and don't give a f what people want to do with whoever. I talk to everyone as if they had the same freaking gender.
LGBT people are so cool but kind of assholes over weird shit. And idk - maybe they just thought I was a freaking egg or a chaser. But they lost a friend 😞
Not exactly what I meant. There’s a weird level of animosity between different sub groups of the community. For me, I’m pan and get a lot of shit from gay men that either I’m “just being a fence sitter” or that I’m “in denial” or that I’m “just doing it to be trendy”. Honestly the same animosity gets levied at bi people, and ace people. It’s always turned me off from wanting to hang out in queer spaces because it feels weirdly unwelcoming, especially because I’m not visually queer
My bi boyfriend and I talk a lot about how so many LGBT people end up basically self-segregating. It's not good for them and they miss out on so many things because of it. We see Facebook posts about guys looking for "LGBT" barber. Just go to a barber? There is a clear sentiment in some of these LGBT clubs they they don't "need" cis-hetero people, and that somehow translates to not wanting to interact with cis-hetero people...the majority of people.
Don't worry! It is a common understanding among the community that you never tell a person if you read them as an egg. Doing so is regarded as unethical, for a) exactly the reason you state, and b) because if it is true that they are trans, you potentially delay their inner process by years, as they now have to examine whether their feelings are authentic or a product of your suggestion.
That being said usually pattern recognition is pretty good in that regard and most eggs turn out to be actually trans or at least queer in some other way.
I had to stop being friends with a trans friend. She keeps telling me I'm trans and it is so infuriating and condescending. She acts like my gender identity as a feminine man is invalid.
This stereotype dichotomy kind of quietly undermines the validity of trans people’s genders doesn’t it?
Like people who date trans people are either dating them because they are trans or because they are a fetish object?
Is this just the unfortunate reality of trans dating that you simply don’t pull “regular” heterosexual men as a trans woman and vice versa for trans men?
Tell you what, the term egg means trans who hasn't realized it yet, and chaser is something along the lines of fuckboy - a person interested in trans only for sex/fetish reason. So the situation is that after dating trans person the guy realizes he's trans himself.
Don't see what the humor is, though. Like propane. There's absolutely nothing humorous about propane.
Rusty Shackleford here. This is an imposter Hank replaced by the Rothschilds during his stint in Saudi Arabia in order to shove all the trans people into chicken eggs! The real Hank would never even acknowledge sex much less explain it to the entire Internet – which is controlled by the government-alien task force! 🚬
aside from the chaser and egg thing this post is also using a meme post template. i just can't remember how the original goes, but the "they're good X miss" is the give away. (so likely just a joke and not something that happened)
Its not a joke, its frustration because the person posting this doesnt want to date either of those people and tried to be up front about that but the boyfriend turned out to be Trans, likely something they didnt know at the time.
The joke is that it's unfortunately way too common for this to be the case (like really, it sucks).
But the joke has reached the wrong audience now clearly, it was originally posted in trans subs who have mostly experienced that first hand or know the sub context. So it's all a little lost now.
Dating anyone should be because you like them for then, always. Especially liking a trans person for being themselves, in this world we live in, that really means a lot.
In addition to everyone explaining the terms, this is referencing another greentext
Being based is good, cringe is bad, so the structure of the meme here is that you want reassurance that X thing is gonna be good, not bad, but it ends up being bad anyway.
So, with chasers vs eggs, you would think him being a chaser would be the bad outcome. But the joke is OP actually wants a chaser bf.
I think it's ok to use the term in hindsight or like if the person themselves is the one making claims.
Howevr yeah it can be so toxic in some spaces. I know a local support group for trans people that is basically just a grooming club that tries to tell every autistic lonely guy that they are actually an egg and that they will help them crack their egg.
Also they of course want to pressure you into joining their giant polycule orgy. To make it worse the age gaps are pretty extreme in some of these relationships. Just turned 18 with a 38 year old who is "teaching" them how to be a woman.
I remembered when 196 or whatever its called and the egg subreddit used to be prevalent on my popular page. One of the things that stood out to me was this one meme saying its okay to push feminine guys into becoming trans with generic cutesy anime girl thingy and a lot seem to be onboard whoof. Thought it was weird haha
Yeah, it's just misgendering with extra steps. No one can tell you what gender you should be except yourself, that applies both to trans people and to non-trans people
OP, so your post is not removed, please reply to this comment with your best guess of what this meme means! Everyone else, this is PETER explains the joke. Have fun and reply as your favorite fictional character for top level responses!
If I recall and Egg is someone who is transgender but hasn't realised it yet. Like, not denial/in the closet just not there? And chaser means they have a specific trait they fetishes in the people they date.
Egg thing may apply to those that are gay to but in the same situation.
Everyone who talks or posts like this will eventually stop when they reach a higher mental maturity, or have enough responsibilities in their life that they begin acting like a normal person. A person will eventually be bogged down by the weight of life and evolve from their meme filled thought patterns. Life is too annoying, too disappointing, and too exhausting for these types of people to exist in the form they currently are. Egg and chaser bullshit gimme a break. When they're in their 30s, they will hopefully realize nobody gives a shit about their meme language.
Yeah unfortunately. I tried doing some community stuff when I first transitioned but other than the fact that we were all trans I had nothing in common with most of them and just felt super uncomfortable with most of the shit they talked about.
Trans folks refer to people who are likely to transition in the future as "eggs" which carries connotations of being closeted or just not having figured it out yet.
A chaser is someone who seeks specific characteristics for their kink. The trans community often has to deal with folks who pursue specifically trans folks.
OOP, who in this context is likely trans, is wondering if their boyfriend is an egg, that they may transition in the future, or a chaser, that they are dating OOP for being trans.
Their boyfriend denies being either, and OOP is coyly saying "they're an egg" which is to say they either later transitioned, or otherwise gave indication.
There is an undertone of sentiment and love here, I think.
