Hot take but the "egg prime directive" is harmful. If someone might be trans, I dont see any reason not to help them navigate the process of interrogating their gender. Worst case being they remain cis with a deeper understanding of themselves and gender, and hopefully come out the other side with less blindspots about the trans experience? Every cis person should go through that imho. Worst case for the egg prime directive is that a trans person goes a significantly longer time before realizing transitioning would greatly benefit their life, which we all know the perils of.
I think this nonsense assumes it would be just as hurtful to imply someone might be trans as to tell a trans person they are cis. This feels like a "racism against white people kind take at best."
I don't think thats where everyone/most people are coming from with the prime directive stuff. But I agree its harmful. there's not like, heavily pushing people or like trying to convince them, that's normal to avoid, but being like 'imma not even mention transness or talk about my own experience or make any suggestions to help this obvious egg' which is just ass
