That's why I'm thinking that they probably didn't intend for it to have another meaning. And if they did, they probably didn't really understand the secondary meaning of 'egg' as queer lingo.
@navi
FYI, the term egg means a person who hasn't accepted being trans yet. Calling other people eggs usually implies that they are trans (usually almost always binary trans) and in denial of it.
As someone who is non-binary, it doesn't feel good to be called an egg. I have a long painful history of people calling me an egg, insisting that I'm something that I'm not, or insisting that I'm not really sure about what I am.
I'm absolutely 100% confident in my Agender
identity. I don't appreciate when people question my self-identification and plenty of other NonBinary people feel the same way.
Just to be clear, I don't think that they intended to make that implication by using #egg I think that they were just using an applicable tag since it is a drawing of an egg.
@Draconic_NEO @navi @pomagarnet @kde
While I do feel nonbinary fits under the trans umbrella and that is how I identify I feel strongly in support of this. Even suspected "eggs" are people and rather than trying to push a person in a direction its almost always the right move to make a warm and open and accepting environment that is conducive to the person learning about and exploring themselves. You know, warm and gentle the way you.. Treat an egg?
@mxenbionix
Absolutely, people need to be treated in a way that makes them feel safe in order for them to open up and explore gender, or be willing to accept themselves if they have internalized transphobia.
I agree that non-binary definitely fits under the umbrella of trans, I do know that not all non-binary people identify as transgender and they're valid too.
@mxenbionix
Just a point of clarification, when I say that people are calling me an egg and insisting that I'm trans sometimes it's not always clear how.
They're not usually saying that I'm non-binary and under the trans umbrella. They're saying that I'm a trans girl. Often egging of the aggressive nature that I mentioned doesn't acknowledge NonBinary at all.
When it does get brought up to them, the reactions are mixed, and sometimes negative or dismissive (i.e. "Suuuure you're'NonBinary'" or "!remindme 3 years"). Also I have been told point blank not to tell questioning people about non-binary identities because they'll "want to be non-binary cuz they think it's cool" which... Uh... Yeah... 😒
@pomagarnet
I mean it is a picture of an egg, most dragons hatch from eggs. Not all do of course but most do.
(Yes I know that egg has another meaning, I'm painfully aware of it.)
@[email protected] it just hatched and you talk about it's sexuality. It's cartoon pedophilia. Why open source devs are like that?
@hazel @Starcross @kde @luna "Fucking pedophiles!!! Sexual fetishes!!"
"Can't wait for this "gender" fad to die off!"
"Marxists have too much influence!!"
"IBM paid them to do this!!!!"
An unending torrent of unhingedness, the Onion could never compete with real statements by Twitter users.
@Starcross
I don't think many people on the right use Linux or care about open source. There's a small handful, I remember one guy on YouTube who was. Vast majority though don't care at all.
