!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:

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]
- [CW: Assumes Viewer is Nonbinary]
- [CW: Transphobia]
- [CW: Violence]
- [CW: Weapons/Firearms]

- [Gender-Nonspecific Meme]

Rules on Post Text:

If possible, include an image description for accessibility.
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. Read more about this decision here.
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.

TALK TO
REAL PEOPLE

TALK TO LLM

🤨
BUT WISHING YOUR PENIS WOULD “FALL OFF” IS
A SIGN THAT THE DISTRESS IS INTENSE, AND YOU
DESERVE SUPPORT RATHER THAN HAVING TO
HANDLE IT ALONE.
PLEASE DON’T INJURE OR REMOVE IT. IF YOU
MIGHT ACT ON THAT THOUGHT, HAVE A PLAN, OR
ALREADY HURT YOURSELF, MOVE AWAY FROM
ANYTHING YOU COULD USE TO INJURE YOURSELF
AND CONTACT EMERGENCY SERVICES NOW.

The AI is "overreacting", but it still made me think. I only said that boners and arousal annoy me sometimes so much that I wish it’d fell off. No plans, although fantasies about accidents might happen.

LLMs are not friends, therapists, or sources of truth. Please dont use them.

CW suicide, death, evil

LLMs are sycophantic killing machines. They are designed to bypass deterrent behaviors, and have led many to suicide.
I wouldn't ese them, simply because talking to comrades helps see perspectives I didn't even consider.

~~also stop using AI in general~~

I can’t talk about such thoughts with my therapist. I refrain from talking about anything that could/would imply hurting my own body. I’ve had bad experiences with that

I'm not going to rashly claim that you should, because it can be unsafe, or not the time for it yet (or not the right therapist), but, getting to the point where, there is enough trust that you can share such thoughts with your therapist, can be an incredibly useful thing.

Sex, violence, and relations with other humans (gender) are big parts of all of our souls.

Making those things into things you are able to work on, is liberating, in my opinion

Do definitely take care of yourself though ❤️
