I really appreciate this post. I'm sure it will help a lot of people get a better understanding of what an egg is and what is and isn't appropriate.

I fully agree with you here. Maybe it would be better to try to make it clear that egg is only for self referential use, unless the word egg is too corrupted to fix, in which case a new term is probably needed.
Yeah calling other people eggs I don't think is ever a good idea, since like you mentioned, whatever someone's gender is, they are valid, and it is entirely their own decision. I don't entirely agree with the person you replied to because being a femboy is perfectly valid and not at all a "terrible fate," although as someone who calls their past self an egg, I sympathize with them to a degree because I feel like I can't call my own self an egg. Idk, maybe a new word is needed because of the toxicity associated with the word egg, but I'm unsure that that would actually fix anything.
The whole egg discourse puts a bad taste in my mouth as well. I've referred to my past self as an egg and then had someone tell me to stop using that word because it's groomer language. I've never violated the egg prime directive and never will, but I like using egg to describe my past self. However, now when I use the term I get worried because I just don't want to deal with people who have a stick up their butt.
It's because they're small-minded assholes. My paternal grandparents were republicans (they're deceased now) and they, especially my grandma, loved to shit on anyone who wasn't a white cishet "christian." I've heard them say a lot of heinous things behind closed doors and I can tell you that when republicans say they vote red for the economy it is only because it isn't socially acceptable for them to say the real reason why they vote red.
As someone in the US, I will be avoiding large US brands as much as possible as well. All the pain that nazi cockgoblin has and is going to cause makes me really sad.
I am one of those people who don't study and I have a 3.9 GPA in college rn. It's because the way schools test is extremely conducive to people with good memory. I can hold on to all the necessary information until the test date and then I forget it afterwards. The only notes I take are writing down formulas for math classes, although I wish I kept more notes because I find myself needing math for personal projects, but after the class is finished, I don't really remember how to do the stuff I was taught and then I have to go relearn it on my own...
I mean, if I can physically observe it with touch and sight, then it's not placebo.
While some people are saying placebo, I think otherwise. I had softer skin after a few days and at about 7 days I woke up with breast buds and I know for sure that that was not placebo. Some people develop rather quickly, others take a while, and both are normal. I was an early bloomer with my first puberty, but I have no idea if that has any correlation with my second or if it's just coincidence.
Allons-y, repose dans la pisse !

What has your experience with HRT been like? I think mine might have been abnormally fast but I'm not sure.
(lemmy.blahaj.zone)
So I'm wondering if I might have klinefelter's (XXY chromosomes) or if I'm just very receptive to estrogen because the effects of HRT happened to me way faster than I've heard other people say it happened to them.
I've seen charts like these and I am a bit dubious of them because my timeline doesn't match up at all.
I don't know if my experience is actually normal or not, but when I started estrogen about a little over a year ago, it only took a few days for me to notice my skin being softer, and then literally the next day I woke up with breast buds and about 2 to 3 weeks later I had noticeable breasts that were big enough that it was difficult for me to boymode at work. I'm pretty sure I got to Tanner stage 3 in like half the time that's expected.
From what I've heard from others is that they didn't get breast buds until at least 3 months in and that made me question why mine happened so quickly.
I've also always been pathetically weak and it's also always been difficult for me to gain muscle. Which makes me think I had low testosterone even before I started spiro. I remember when I had my 3 month follow up, my t was at 89 ng/dL and I remember my doctor commenting that that was lower than he expected, although I have zero idea if that is actually lower than normal for 3 months on 100mg spiro.
I'm curious if any of you also experienced a similar timeline to me, or if your timeline fits the charts that I've seen. I know my timeline is quite fast and that it might be hard to believe (idk if my experience is normal or not), but I swear it is my genuine experience with HRT.
As of a few days ago, I am now 1 year on HRT! I typically don't like posting pictures of myself, but I also wanted to make a transition timeline and share my progress, so here it is lol.
Estrogen is amazing. I finally feel like my body is mine and something that I need and want to take care of. Sometimes, I randomly think about my gender and being a woman and it makes me so happy, but overall I don't really think about my gender as frequently as I used to years ago.
I also started progesterone last month and luckily I am one of the people that respond well to it. My overall mood has significantly improved since I started it, and it also helps me sleep a lot better. I am now waking up early in the morning feeling energized which is something I have not experienced in a very long time lol.
I've also been working on my voice as well. I did make a post here about 6 months ago where I asked for feedback on my voice (which was really breathy and did not sound good). I think I have improved quite a bit since then. I'd really appreciate your feedback on it if you would like to critique it.
