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][CW: Disturbing Imagery]You may optionally include other tags, such as:
[Transmasc Meme][Transfem Meme][Nonbinary Meme][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.
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.

Bottom text: People think of gender as a binary of male or female, but actually, from a non-cisnormative, non-patriarchal perspective, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly gendy bendy stuff.
Partitioning our entire population on the basis of the role its members could potentially play in reproduction makes no sense at all to me, but apparently I’m the strange one for pointing that out?
The only real split in the world is the one between the working class and the owner class.
Could not agree more.
Trying to explain nonbinary to people is so frustrating.
Only slightly more frustrating is not knowing oneself from one moment to the next.
I don't care about gender, I care about sex
Heads up, this person has a history of transphobia.
It's already been removed on the community's home instance.
Oh well that's good, hopefully he's banned as well.
I didn't see a ban in the mod log but if he pops up again I'll ask for one. I really wish deletions propagated faster so people wouldn't engage with them.
Just banned them, their post history shows they aren't somebody we want here.
Uhh...Why do all the transphobes post when I'm asleep?
In the sense that you don't care about people's gender because that's their business but you like having sex, right? That's what you meant, right? ...right?
Unfortunately his comment history says otherwise, literally made a comment badmouthing someone who is transfem because he is a bigot who doesn't think people can have different gender identities.
Can't disagree with this hair
