    The flag and closet arrow imply that the person agreeing is also a trans girl - just not one who had previously revealed it to the person they’re talking to. So by agreeing it’s gay they’re saying it’s gay because it’s two women in love. Unless you’re saying gay only applies to 2 men in love and not 2 women in love.

        I mean, I still consider the period of “I recognize I’m not cis” to “being able to say out loud ‘I’m trans’” to be in my “egg phase”. Like, there was a pretty decent period where I recognized that I was doing not-cis things and was pretty involved in trans culture, but struggled to say “I’m trans”.

          They’re not just finally saying it out loud, though. The whole extra step of outright saying, “I’m gay” in response to being attracted to the same sex as your trans identity, especially when stated flippantly, is heavily implying that they’ve already thought it through.

          They’re not going, “hmm food for thought”. They’re just going, “yep, gay”.
