The way I view it, is that if you start HRT, you generally have about 3 months to ponder on whether it was the right decision, to revert it fully without more invasive measures.
Your brain experiences the effects earliest, and so in a few weeks to a month and a half (at least, it felt like that for me), you’ll know.
Whether you start/stop or not with HRT (or whatever path), whether cis or not, either way you’re valid. Just be supportive of others who want to explore their gender journey and don’t break an egg yourself :3
Saying “don’t tell people questioning their gender whether they’re trans or not, they should decide for themselves whether or not they’re trans” every time is a lot more effort than simply saying “obey the egg rule/prime directive/whatever.” Though I personally prefer “don’t break any eggs.”

Thanks, that was interesting.
While I agree with it, can I just say calling it the egg prime directive might be the single stupidest name possible.
Cause holy fuck it sounds dumb.
What ever happened to just calling stuff what it is. I’m so exhausted by the endless nonsensical word replacement that everything has turned into.
Valid rant, that’s fair.
I like the whimsical(?) nature of it, physically
