You’re mis-stating the egg prime directive and then arguing that your mis-statement is bad. Which is kind of like a FART mis-stating the trans agenda as “wanting to let boys play girls sports if they wear a skirt for a day.”
(Not to mention the whole cis/trans split papers over the absurd number of various “nonbinary” options.)
The egg prime directive is simply “don’t declare someone else as trans.”. Tell them it’s OK to be trans. Ask them if they are trans. Even go so far as to suggest that they might be, if you know the person and they are struggling.
Just don’t try lecturing someone else on their gender.
The egg prime directive is simply “don’t declare someone else as trans.”. Tell them it’s OK to be trans.
What does that have to do with Star Trek? The other definition actually makes sense as a reference.
The star trek prime directive is essentially “every species has the right to develop their own culture.”. Which nicely mirrors an EPD phrasing of “every person had the right to develop their own gender.”
If we instead go with a phrasing like “never interfere with pre-warp societies”, we’d need to add on bits about “except when they’re about to die” or “except when the fate of the galaxy is at stake”.or “except if you know them really well”, and have a codicil for the similar principle where warp-capable species also get to do their own thing.
Here’s a useful starting point I found from a five minute web search, which helpfully has pointers to where the author believes the term originates.
