i took no offense of being told I might be an egg.
I get it can get a bit gender essentialism to imply that certain traits belong to one gender and wanting those means you might be interested in the rest.
I’m sorry, some of it comes from me having said so much to myself over and over and over… and it was because I was avoiding it. But you’re right, of course, better to have kept that to myself even though I had that feeling. I’ll keep that in mind in the future, thank you.
It’s a common problem among a lot of oppressed and minority communities to not realize they have their own problem with casual hate. Its a byproduct of so many of the coping mechanism that are needed to deal with the hate in the first place.
All we can do is point it out to each other and try to be better. As the saying goes hate breeds hate.
Your doing great, and your a better person then you think. Just being able to accept and try to be the better person is hard.
It’s kind of insulting to imply that a cisdude can’t want close social bonds and physical contact. And that they are an egg just for wanting it.
We all deserve to be loved. Its not exclusive to being trans or queer.
I know your joking but it grinds at me how casual and common people say that sort of thing entirely seriously.
:/

Don’t beat yourself up over it.
