Egg prime directive?
it’s the idea that, if you see a presumably cis person acting in a non-cis way (ex: a presumed straight man longing for a lesbian relationship), you should NOT tell them that they may be trans and instead let them figure it out. at most, nudge them in the right direction.
as you can see, it’s a controversial idea in the trans community.
What I have heard is, don't insist that a cis-identifying person is trans. Especially don't butt in, say, over the internet when you don't know them.
If someone says "I wish I was a lesbian" it would be ok to say "That's an option, you know 😉" but not ok to say "You're a trans woman in denial"
yea i agree, suggesting that someone think about being trans is cool, assigning an identity to them isn’t
