I realize the hypocrisy of saying this, as the person who started the conversation, but yes, its considered very rude to point someone out as an egg in a genuine fashion, for multiple reasons but including outing against their will, the idea that they might already transitioned in their own way, the idea of trying to define someone without their consent, etc.
It’s really fine just to remain an egg if someone wants. It probably just means that person was non-binary, or gender queer in some other way they were comfortable with.
I take it Shen is suspected of being a furry?
No, he makes occasional art that feels egg-y
Fwiw I hadn’t considered Shen’s gender to begin with, but fair.
What does egg mean in this context?
A trans person who hasn’t fully admitted to others (or perhaps even to themselves) that they’re trans.
So by the generation and spreading of egg rumors, we are potentially outing someone against their will?
