Description: Variation on the Coolyori image macro format

In the upper picture, a boy reacts negatively to/rejects the statement “I’m into guys, but not in like a gay way… yeah, idk, I don’t get it either.”

In the lower picture a similar looking girl points towards “…oh.”

@Caitlyynn @squirrel saaaaame.
“Quietly disappointed to be straight (as a guy) instead of a lesbian” was a confusing feeling to have back in high school.

Yeah, I was definitely into girls in a gay way and couldn’t explain it. People would say that a girl I liked was gay and I’d be real excited and people would be like “but that means she’s not into guys and you’re a guy” and I’d be like “does not compute”

@MegaMichelle @Caitlyynn @squirrel asked to prom by a lesbian… asked why, years on, apparently it was because I felt like a “safe” guy.

Nobody around at the time picked up on what that might’ve meant, or if they did, they didn’t indicate it.

egg_irl — Memes about being trans people in denial and other eggy topics

!egg_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Create post

!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:

  1. No bigotry.

  2. No spam, bots, or vote farming.

Rules on Content:

  1. No reposts.

  2. No personal-life posts, bingo cards, quizzes, selfies, “trans/not trans” lists, picrew, or non-memes.

  3. No visible names or usernames.

  4. Do not post or link to pornography.

Rules on Post Titles and Tags:

  1. Posts must be titled “egg_irl”. An emoji or two is OK, but they have to be between “egg” and “irl”.

  2. 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]
    • [CW: Disturbing Imagery]
  3. You may optionally include other tags, such as:

    • [Transmasc Meme]
    • [Transfem Meme]
    • [Nonbinary Meme]
    • [Gender-Nonspecific Meme]

Rules on Post Text:

  1. If possible, include an image description for accessibility.

  2. Add sources for art.

Rules on Comments

  1. If a post is tagged with a specific gender identity, keep the conversation centered on that identity.

  2. 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.

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.
