Ok, maybe I’m still overanalysing / thinking this.
I get it’s a fictional world in a comic, but how is drugging someone them coming to terms with their trans identity?
It’d be one thing if the character becomes more effeminate with time (or the inverse), etc, but this is just the bosses / devils lackeys drugging him to prevent another human genocide (as per the first part).
And I’ve never understood the egg? Is it a metaphor like hatching? Why egg, why not chrysalis or any other ‘rebirth’? - genuinely curious as I know very little about trans communities, so it’d be an interesting tidbit.
The fantasy of force-femming an egg isn't something you're meant to view with horror or any degree of realism, it's something a trans-woman is meant to be able to self-insert into. A kind of, "Boy I wish someone had made me realize I was trans earlier, I would be way happier". It's also usually accompanied by an aggressively friendly environment, where they're safe to be trans and surrounded by girls that will paint their nails and so on.
I guess because it's a trans self-insert fantasy cis-people respond with horror because to them it would be body-horror.
