View submission: Trans terminology and abbreviations
I love this idea! I would like to clarify a couple definitions:
- **Egg** - A trans person who either doesn't know they're trans, or is in denial about it. So named because "eggs often break, and when they do, a chick (or cock) comes out." May also be used as the adjective **eggy** to describe the period of one's life before they knew they're trans, and their (often furtive) attempts at alternative gender expression during that period.
- **Breaking / Cracking (one's) egg**, or **Hatching** - Realizing and accepting that you are transgender. Often used in the past tense, i.e. "my egg broke in April 2018"
