[IMAGE DESCRIPTION] drowning kid + skeleton Meme

In the top panel a mother and her kids are together in a swimming pool. The mother with text “egg_irl” is holding up her daughter with the text “transfems” over her. Meanwhile her son is drowning while she doesn’t notice him with the text “transmascs” over him.

In the bottom Panel a skeleton is chained to a chair at the bottom of the ocean with the text “NonBinary/Genderqueer”, “Genderfluid”, and “Agender” over it. Each label is colored in the colors of their own Flags respectively.

context: Back on the original egg_irl subreddit it was common for there to be a disproportionate amount of transfem memes versus the others and a lot of them forgot to flair as [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem] when needed and also a few were a bit targeting towards transmascs and masculine enbies i.e.

“get rid of your toxic, masculine mannerisms”

or

“transmascs have cute feminine faces”

. Some people even started saying Egg_irl is specifically a women’s space and not a trans space in general.

    I’m wondering if it’s supposed to be non-binary and whoever did the stats didn’t know the difference. I’m non-binary and the number of people who assume that GNC, non-binary and androgynous all mean the same thing is ridiculously high. I’ve seen surveys that have gender options of “male, female, gender non-conforming”.

      Yeah I’m starting to feel like it was probably supposed to be NonBinary, though it’s also weird to label GNC as it’s own gender when it usually isn’t, GNC is just when people don’t conform to gender stereotypes, the person may be Cis, trans, isogender, GNC just means not following or having connection to the gender stereotypes.

        Yep, exactly. But some people refuse to learn the difference. Especially given the number of people who justify misgendering me by saying “It’s kinda hard to not see you as a woman when you’re dressed like one” when 100% of what I’m wearing is from the men’s department.
