Let’s fucking stop with this “cracking eggs” thing? with potential trans ppl?
Like, motherfuckers, you know what happens when you crack an egg that isn’t ready to hatch yet? IT FUCKING DIES. If you crack an egg that isn’t already hatched, it FUCKING DIES.
So maybe stop trying to fucking “crack” eggs that aren’t out already. It’s almost as if our society is not particularly trans-friendly and there could be any number of reasons why someone wouldn’t be happy to be “cracked”, let alone the fact that people can be femme or masc and still not be trans.
Just stop.
Don’t crack eggs.
It’s not good for anyone.
If they’re an egg, they’ll hatch when they’re ready. Maybe focus your efforts on building a place where eggs are comfortable settling to hatch.
my fave greek history story to tell is that of agnodice. like she noticed that women were dying a lot during childbirth so she went to egypt to study medicine in alexandria and was really fucking good but b/c it was illegal for women to be doctors in athens she had to pretend to be a man. and then the other doctors noticed that she was 10x better than them and accused her of seducing and sleeping with the women patients. like they brought her to court for this. and she just looked at them and these charges and stripped in front of everyone like “yeah. im not fucking your wives” and then they got so mad that a woman was better at their jobs then them that they tried to execute her but all her patients came to court and were like “are you fucking serious? she is the reason you have living children and a wife.” so they were shamed into changing the law and that is how women were given the right to practice medicine in athens
