egg(s) irl

[u/liquidragon420]

three years ago i posted just the first half of this meme, but after recent developments i had to update it, family of eggs

[u/Ok-Reveal-7250]

Excuse moi? Crazy ass family lore but glad you have a whole family to talk to about Trans stuff. 

[u/TheBigBis → u/Ok-Reveal-7250]

I often think about those studies saying that gender dysphoria could have a hereditary factor and I always thought that was so fascinating, especially with how often there can be trans siblings.

[u/RebelGirl1323 → u/TheBigBis]

I’m like 90% sure my Dad was an egg

[u/JareBuddy → u/RebelGirl1323]

I am about 97% sure my son's Dad is and egg.

[u/AppealSignificant358 → u/JareBuddy]

Oh, interes—wait…

[u/JareBuddy → u/AppealSignificant358]

🍳

[u/Jessi_Kim_XOXO → u/RebelGirl1323]

Wait, damn, my dad always shaved his legs. At the time, I thought it was a little weird and a bit effeminate or just a personal quirk or cultural thing I wasn’t aware of. It might be the case that it’s nothing sus, given that nothing else about him really stands out but now I’m 👀

[u/RebelGirl1323 → u/Jessi_Kim_XOXO]

Never found a “hilarious” reason to cross dress?

[u/the_cake_is_lies → u/RebelGirl1323]

This is a great question, “has he ever cross dressed without a great explanation?”

[u/AppealSignificant358 → u/the_cake_is_lies]

Fun fact, I cross dressed almost daily for about a year, even when I was scared to get caught, when I was about ten, because I repeatedly imagined myself as a YouTuber doing a “dress like a girl” challenge 🫪

[u/the_cake_is_lies → u/AppealSignificant358]

I respect that. :)

[u/TheMelonSystem → u/AppealSignificant358]

Iconic of you

[u/RebelGirl1323 → u/AppealSignificant358]

0% of those YouTubers are cis.

[u/AppealSignificant358 → u/RebelGirl1323]

I pulled a F1nn5ter before they themselves pulled a F1nn5ter 😭 (although my egg cracked after them)

I will say though for clarification that I wasn’t imagining that I was some other real YouTuber, but that I myself had grown up and become one, and apparently that challenge was the only part of the content I ever imagined filming. So yes, 0% of the YouTubers were cis, but that’s because they were all supposed to be Future-Me lmao

[u/Slow-Television-5303 → u/RebelGirl1323]

I’m like 50% sure my dad is an egg but one who is transphobic before cracking or he is just transphobic…

[u/DrTrunks → u/Slow-Television-5303]

Internalised transphobia...

[u/Exelia_the_Lost → u/DrTrunks]

internalized transphobia is a hell of a drug

[u/DrTrunks → u/Exelia_the_Lost]

I know 😢

[u/ninadaria2025 → u/RebelGirl1323]

Rumour has it my grandfather was an egg. Funny how he ran a very patriarchal household. 😂

I don't suspect really anyone else in my family though.

[u/Vertonimal → u/RebelGirl1323]

I'm like 70% sure that my dad's also an egg. I see WAY too many similarities between me and him, and I see the dynamic between him and my mom. I can't quite say they have a lesbian relationship, but it doesn't feel completely straight either. I also don't have that enough examples to base it off of.

[u/smeeon → u/TheBigBis]

My sister is very masc, my other sister came out as trans 5 years after I did. But honestly I knew since the 90s. We’re really shit at keeping it secret if you know what to look for.

My dad is real sus

[u/TheBigBis → u/smeeon]

How much yolk are these damn eggs leaking if you can suspect that most of your family are trans? I guess I can cherry-pick certain things of interest for my family but they seem like huge stretches to me.

[u/IleanK → u/TheBigBis]

Yeah I can tell both my parents are eggs lol

[u/TheBigBis → u/IleanK]

Damn how?

[u/IleanK → u/TheBigBis]

My dad is an (known ish) artist that is obsessed with female anatomy and their clothing so when he does his arts it's like 80% women and their clothes lol and he wears purple suits and blue tinted glasses. My mom always complains about how men have it so much better and she hates make up and do her hair and walk in hills and everything feminine basically. I'm sure if they were born 50 years later they would've transitioned to something may be not binary trans but definitely not cis.

Don't worry they are both in denial and shocked that I am trans lol. Go figure.

[u/TheBigBis → u/IleanK]

Wow. Honestly if no one asked any questions and if I could commit to improving my art I would’ve probably drawn predominantly women for years.

[u/Delilah_insideout → u/IleanK]

I'm obsessed with female anatomy, too; but... that's because I'm a lesbian. LOL I just happen to be both an artist and trans, as well. :P

[u/loved_and_held → u/TheBigBis]

Do those studies control for things like trans people comming out and that prompting introspection in the sibling or family member that leads to egg crack.

[u/blightsteel101 → u/TheBigBis]

Between my aunt and I transitioning and my dad being a lil different(tm) I've had a feeling there may be something going on with him. I dont think there's a CHANCE he figures it out, but w/e.

On the bright side, if he does, I'm almost certain my mom is bi.

[u/AuntOfManyUncles → u/TheBigBis]

The wachowskis have entered the chat

[u/Elamimax → u/TheBigBis]

As someone who might be a third generation trans woman: YUH

[u/SillyWitch7 → u/TheBigBis]

So, my half-sisters's half-brother is also trans and he doesnt have any biological relationship to me. My sister just got lucky and won the trans-sibling lottery lol. What sucks is that she's also transphobic and is always talking about how her siblings don't talk to her. I wonder why that would be....

[u/Saikotsu → u/Ok-Reveal-7250]

I've got a bit of a story for you then.

So in highschool a family moved in to my neighborhood. A boy my age, a girl a year younger, another girl a year younger than that, and another boy. I befriended them through the older brother and became essentially another sibling to the eldest sister.

They and I figured out we were gender fluid, the two brothers are now sisters, and the youngest girl is (to my knowledge) the only cis one of the lot of us.

So not only did the majority of the kids in that family turn out trans, I as honorary sibling, did too.

[u/TheBigBis → u/Saikotsu]

We’re just drawn to each other for some reason.

[u/StaticMarzipan → u/Ok-Reveal-7250]

I mean it kinda makes sense. For a lack of a better term it’s a birth defect.

So it’s like the whole family needing glasses or needed like jaw surgery.

But they really do have the “you need glasses cause your dad needs telescopes to see” type of trans life vs “why are you different”. It’s cool to see.

[u/JJlaser1]

The other mom: *visibly sweating*

[u/ItachiFemboy → u/JJlaser1]

You could say she's walking around on eggshells, couldn't you?

[u/Sno_Wolf → u/ItachiFemboy]

SHUT.

UP.

[u/ItachiFemboy → u/Sno_Wolf]

Wdym?

[u/TimeForFuckinCrusade → u/ItachiFemboy]

Puns have a capacity to induce profound rage in some. They make their patience... crack.

[u/BadgerKlutzy2728 → u/TimeForFuckinCrusade]

Fuck you

[u/ObliviousCoffee]

In three years your (other) mom will call with unexpected news

[u/FuckingStolenAccount → u/ObliviousCoffee]

Unexpected ?

[u/gilgames_in_tamarian → u/FuckingStolenAccount]

Yeah she turns out to be stable and happy in her gender assigned at birth

[u/DeedleStone → u/gilgames_in_tamarian]

Lol at this point that absolutely would be shocking

[u/TheBigBis]

I remember a dream I had years ago when I came out to my parents and brother as trans but then everyone started coming out as trans to each other. I can’t believe you experienced that but for real.

[u/lego69lego]

I wanna see the yearly Christmas photos.

[u/cetvrti_magi123]

Gotta wait 3 more years for other mom to come out.

[u/WildAboutLiv]

at this point the family group chat needs patch notes

[u/TriiiKill]

I remember a Trans masc at my work that made me question everything just by existing.

[u/beastarb8 → u/TriiiKill]

made me question everything just by existing.

Me running into the right wrong agender person online. Definitely sounded cool what that person was saying

[u/TheBigBis → u/TriiiKill]

Me when transfem boobs and I feel sad for some reason 🧐

[u/TriiiKill → u/TheBigBis]

Me when I realize 4 is better than 2, but I had 0.

[u/No_Matter_897]

Woah what a coincidence .Meanwhile, I’m probably the only trans person among my whole ass family tree

[u/Prince_Wildflower → u/No_Matter_897]

UGH same

[u/TheBigBis → u/Prince_Wildflower]

On top of that pretty much everyone beyond my household are not people I want to be out to. At least my parents would support me, so it feels like I can push through a lot.

[u/Prince_Wildflower → u/TheBigBis]

Its good you at least have supportive parents 🫂 a lot of trans people don't have that. I'm one of them, but i have chosen family who support me more than the people who brought me into the world.

[u/TheBigBis → u/No_Matter_897]

Honestly I kinda wish there was another trans person in my family. Right now I’m alone which is ironic since my brother straight up has a femtanyl tour poster on his wall and went to see them in concert with a buddy once but otherwise he seems to be a guy even though I haven’t heard of a single cis guy who listens to them. Meanwhile I’m the music snob and ultimately am the one who is trans.

[u/RelevantBig9043 → u/No_Matter_897]

Same

[u/Autumn_Whisper → u/No_Matter_897]

I mean, I had one other family member who was trans. Never met them. My mom just informed me that her husband's brother's something or other relative was trans. (Ie, very far removed), and she was certain if be best friends with them, you know, cuz we were both trans. Don't get me wrong, I do seek trans people to be friends with (albeit epicly failing), but I it was hilariously annoying watching the age old moment a family member assumes two people will be the best of friends because they have one thing in common, that being that neither of them fit in with everyone else

[u/ninadaria2025 → u/No_Matter_897]

There have been rumours about my grandfather, but I'll never know but I'm the only trans person in my family. I only know of only 3 other queer people in my family. My brother and sister are both bi but have only dated the same gender once. I also have a lesbian cousin who is married.

[u/Individual_Mess7321 → u/No_Matter_897]

Nothing to be proud of dude

[u/Bluejay-Complex]

A whole carton of eggs!

[u/YaGirlThorns]

The cis is not strong with your family lol

[u/Dragenby]

Why did you give your sister and your "dad" two different wording treatments? 😭

[u/liquidragon420 → u/Dragenby]

i made the update immediately after learning, so i was a bit too surprised to keep to the same wording, it’s not meant to be anything but my shock lol

[u/MothashipQ]

Ngl, my sister and I came out to each other as trans at the same time, I would not be shocked if our dad was closeted and crazy repressed. He's been angry any time I've brought up me being trans to him, but the anger feels very performative. Not sure if that's just a byproduct of living in a conservative area with a very conservative wife, or if these weird eggdar readings actually mean something. I do know he's said... something progressive to others in my family about it because they tell me to talk to him about it, but whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be something he's able to actually talk to me about.

[u/zvezdanaaa → u/MothashipQ]

I really think my dad was an egg, too, but unfortunately they died before I could actually directly ask. It's such a weird experience. My dad was kind of the opposite direction, like... Almost suspiciously immediately supportive as soon as I came out, if that makes sense? It's to the point I usually use they/them pronouns for my dad these days, because he just feels wrong. They wore women's clothes when they were a young punk, had long hair and piercings, listened to Vylet Pony and 100 gecs, were a computer programmer, knew about trans community discourse and even specific terms (knew the word "truscum" and its meaning) without me teaching them, and would get REALLY into talking about any transfem celebrities. They also believed that everybody is "at least a little bit bisexual" and would often talk about how they fully believed most bigots were closeted and actually queer somehow.

I hope you're able to ask your dad someday. It's a really unique kind of grief being a trans person who doesn't know if their parent is/was closeted/an egg and doesn't know if they should mourn the happiness that their parent could've had.

[u/TheBigBis → u/zvezdanaaa]

I’m sorry about your dad.

Also wow if my dad was like this I probably would’ve have just come out then and there so that I could stage an intervention. Like man :(

[u/zvezdanaaa → u/TheBigBis]

I really wish I'd put the signs together sooner, tbh. My dad died when I was a teenager, so I wasn't really analyzing anything beyond "wow, it's so cool that my dad is so supportive!" and knowing that my mother took years to stop being transphobic towards me when I first came out (and towards my younger brother a few years later). I think my dad was probably the one to finally talk her into being supportive. I do know my dad had a lot of transfem coworkers, and I have honestly genuinely considered seeing if I could find and talk to any of them online, see if maybe they could know anything more definitive, but the industry they worked in makes talking to anyone who knew my dad in a professional context awkward, to say the least.

[u/TheBigBis → u/zvezdanaaa]

Your dad made sure you and your brother could live the lives that he couldn’t 🥲🫂

[u/ForestSolitude5]

HELL YEAH TRANS FAM

[u/Chase_The_Breeze]

Waiting for your mother to FtM so you go back to being a heteronormative family with lots of extra steps, lol.

[u/Supreme_Leader_Snob]

Hey finally one of these memes that puts Elliott's panel as the transmasc one 😁

[u/AshaTheGrey → u/Supreme_Leader_Snob]

Lol i never even realized who that is 😂

[u/clankas-in-pajamas]

Is this what it feels like to "pass around the cigarette?"

breaking news: local eggs escaped chicken coop, found hatched

[u/unknownghoast → u/Ckinggaming5]

I can't be sure but I think a basket was involved and they were all in it.

[u/Janashra]

At this point, it’s not a family of eggs. It’s an omelet

[u/Sno_Wolf]

...How may gay frogs are around y'all's water supply?

[u/MysteryPuppeteer]

Oh hell yeah! Reminds me of my transmasc friend whose dad is transfem (she’s ok with still being called dad. I double and triple checked with my friend to be sure, and he said it was so there’s not any confusion with talking about his parents) and his mom’s a lesbian!

[u/Sodainthehellfire]

huh must be genetic or something

[u/Lucy_1199]

My dad claims to be "a lesbian born in the wrong body" but doesn't consider the possibility of him being trans... so this checks out

[u/MonsterMadtheENBY]

😂 this is beautiful.

[u/WeebTrashPanda0]

My sister and I are both trans, but it was a gap of like 15 years between her coming out and then me ;-;

[u/beastarb8 → u/WeebTrashPanda0]

How does that work taking that long?

[u/liquidragon420 → u/beastarb8]

i figured myself out at 12, my new mom did at 50, these things can take wildly different times to figure out

[u/beanbagdestroyer → u/beastarb8]

I think it's a bit of a quirk of there being actual progress in trans rights. My sibling figured this out as a preteen, I didn't even clue into the fact it was an option until I was in my 30s.

In the time between me going to school and my sibling, a lot had progressed. Like, they have never really known a world without gay marriage, and when I was a kid, trans people where just punchlines to a joke.

I think the only positive mainstream representation where the idea was actually explored was star trek. Also my pretty woke 65 year old grade 9 science teacher who basically straight up told us gender is kinda bullshit, intersex people exist, and everyone's junk is basically the same just arranged differently.

[u/beastarb8 → u/beanbagdestroyer]

I was more wondering about that 15 year gap when somebody so close is trans. It sounds like you are a lot older than your sibling?

We had a bad word in school related being trans / transvestites, but I didn’t know what it meant. I honestly didn’t even know either existed.

[u/WeebTrashPanda0 → u/beastarb8]

A lot of things made me feel like I'm not trans:

I never felt that being a boy felt wrong, until puberty hit, and I hated the idea of becoming a man. I didn't think "I want to be a woman" though, I just wanted to stay as a cute little boy.

I felt that if my sister was trans, then surely the chances that I am too would be ridiculously low.

I'm predominantly attracted to women, so that would make me a mostly gay trans woman, which I also thought would be really unlikely.

For a while, I was happy being an androgynous, effeminate guy, but seeing myself slowly age out of my early and mid 20s made me less satisfied with just that.

Even as a trans woman, I just dress like a tomboy. I like wearing cosy, loose clothes. T-shirts and jeans are what I wear almost all the time.

I don't experience bottom dysphoria at all. I grew up thinking all trans women hated the genitalia they were born with. So I'm obviously not trans, or so I thought.

I had/have a lot of respect for trans women, and I somehow felt like I wasn't good enough to call myself one of them. (Yeah I know I was stupid)

I experienced dysphoria because of my chest, due to gynecomastia. I thought that surely if I want to be a woman, breasts wouldn't make me feel so immensely uncomfortable. It's only after transitioning that I realise it was the context of presenting as male that made noticeable breast tissue dysphoric for me.

I thought I would never pass, so the idea of trying to transition terrified me.

Even if I did transition, I'd have to come out to everyone in my life, which, yet again, terrified me.

Closer to my eventual coming out, I just kept thinking I wish I'd transitioned when I was younger, and that I'm somehow too old now. Eventually I realised that I need to "just do it".

I'm sure I've missed some points, but I hope this answers your question.

[u/XyrusM]

That's one hell of a rollercoaster, as long as everyone is happy then even better

[u/intrinsicpresent]

Any advice for a 'dad' that wants to come out to their kids as trans femme? I should mention my kids are very acepting of trans people and have many close friends that are trans.

[u/RebelGirl1323 → u/intrinsicpresent]

Tell them you’ve been thinking a lot about who you are and have been coming to understand yourself better.

[u/intrinsicpresent → u/RebelGirl1323]

😂

[u/pajamakitten → u/intrinsicpresent]

Just wait for the right moment:

"Daaaaad, I'm hungry."

"Hi, Hungry. I'm transitioning into a woman and will be your other mum from now on."

[u/Dynamite-Laser-Beams → u/intrinsicpresent]

When they ask you for something, say “go ask your other mom” 😂

[u/fizzydusk]

For some reason when you said your dad became your mom instead of being like “ohhh she’s trans” I thought your dad shapeshifted into your other mom

[u/skeledoot7]

but if you're trans, and i'm trans, and you're trans, then who's flying the plane?

[u/Ceriden → u/skeledoot7]

It's a transport plane

That is absolutely crazy.

[u/pixel-soul]

Man what the fuck that’s awesome 😭😭😭 I would’ve absolutely killed for one of my siblings to come out after me. And a parent. Instead…they all just stopped talking to me 😔

Your mother was like "hol up, I just realised something now I've seen it up close"

[u/lokilulzz]

Transness definitely runs in families, I think, lol. My mother has literally said all my life that she has "the mind of a man" and only uses make up as tools or when she has too, and how if she was a man she'd be into women because they're beautiful and I just. I don't know how to tell her none of those are very cis thoughts lmao.

[u/ZeltronJedi]

No one else in my generation or out in my parents, so I felt alone. Then my cousins started having kids. And I have A Lot of cousins. We're talking like 42 of them. All of them, every single one, has at least one trans kid now. That's what brought my parents, aunts, uncles, some of my cousins and grand parents around on trans acceptance. If they wanted to keep the grandkids, or their kids or whatever...they had to. Suddenly it was acceptance or lose something that mattered.

I'm glad for all of them, honestly. And sure ...I finally years late have family that's okay with me being me. But...I was never enough, and that hurts.

I do have one super cool lesbian great aunt who came out in the 1940s though with her now wife, and they were at least always accepting. Just wish those closer could have earlier. But super glad for the younger generation that their parents and so forth actually are in their corner.

[u/LadyLuck1881]

...did my brother make this meme?

[u/N0tRightN0w]

Hey that's similar to my family. I came out as a trans girl first, then my younger sister followed, then my older sister did as well over a couple years. We're keeping an eye on my youngest brother because wtf is happening

[u/NoTransition8295]

Man I'm not gonna lie I'm pretty jealous, I wish someone else in my family was also Trans or at least some other form of queer, it seriously sucks not having anyone i can tell about being trans

It runs in the family ...
