Got the idea of posting this when I watched this YouTube video that talks about reasons men love playing as girls.

Why do you do it?
Are there more than one reason?
What do you enjoy about it the most?

Never heard of this being a term - what does it mean?

I had to look it up: apparently an "egg" is a maybe-possibly trans person who hasn't "hatched" into self-acceptance or self-recognition (yet). It seems like a really presumptive kind of thing to me, but also I kinda get it so maybe I'm an egg too 🤷‍♂️(🤷🤷‍♀️)

One of those things that can be kind of rude to imply, and only really works retrospectively.

Egg is a term for a trans person that hasn't realized they are trans yet. Like an egg before it cracks and hatches.
