How to get out of an uncomfortable egg culture situation with this one simple trick.

Real talk: Calling people eggs is a violation of the egg prime directive, and is considered invalidating as you are trying to say that a person is not the gender they identify as, that their identity is invalid. Don't call people eggs, like ever, it's extremely uncool.

@porous_grey_matter I think I just need to make sure I only use it on other Kiwis.

Not the birds, though. That would be the equivalent of calling them babies, which I'd imagine they'd find very insulting.

@Viking_Hippie if a bird is being an egg I will tell it. #nofilter

Fun fact: kiwi have the biggest egg relative to their body size of any bird in the world.
