    If the person who is liking a trans person is also trans (and not open to themselves about it), then they’re an egg. Though the mere act of liking a trans girl is not egg material, IMO.

    Implying they’re an egg by the mere attraction to a trans girl is dismissing ‘normal’ attraction to trans girls, IMO. That’s definitely not good. You shouldn’t have to be trans and/or gay to like a trans girl. Period.

    Them saying, “yes I’m gay” in response is either a complete dismissal of the above, or an open admission to being trans/non-binary/etc, which is distinctly not “egg” material.

    So, it is mostly the appearance in egg_irl that is the problem with the comic: There is no egg pictured.

      The comic has literally a trans and lesbian flag on the right person and says she’s still in the closet. The dude on the left doesn’t know his friend is a girl but his friends talks from the perspective of one despite still being in the closet. That’s why the dude is confused and why the comic is recognising trans women as women.

        Again, it’s showing an open admittance. Is an “egg” not a person that is wrestling themselves with the idea of being trans? If they know they’re trans, they’re not an egg.

        I also never said the comic is dismissing any trans identity.

        If the person is a “dude” as you say, you are the one removing their trans identity. So, they’re either a trans woman themselves, and not an egg (because they are aware and openly admitting it, even by accident), or it is dismissing the possibility that a straight person can be attracted to a trans woman.

          I never said the person was an egg and i never said the trans woman was a dude. The dude is the one on the left, as i said

          Ok, I think I am following. The first statement here was also something I overlooked. Thank you for the clarification.
