    On tumblr someone ran a couple of polls analyzing cis gay, cis lesbian, trans women, trans men etc about how they would feel telling someone they thought they were gay/lesbian/trans or whatever. The only group where people were uncomfortable was trans women telling someone who's questioning or just seems like they have some tendencies or whatever that they might be trans - except trans women themselves. Trans men had a similar thing just not quite as stark.

        Trans women were also polled, and the question was split up like: "A. I am a trans woman, and I would tell my friend that they might be trans

        B. I am a trans woman, and I would not tell my friend that they might be trans

        C. I am not a trans woman, and I would tell my friend that they might be trans

        D. I am not a trans woman, and I would not tell my friend that they might be trans"

        A was more common than B, D more common than C (the ratio of D:C was higher for this question than any other group they studied). It wasn't a super scientific poll but it point to the egg prime directive being more of a transmisogyny thing. There wasn't a gay "egg" prime directive or lesbian "egg" prime directive, there was kind of a trans man egg prime directive but not as big as the people saying never tell someone they might be a trans woman. Except for trans women themselves, they're much cooler with breaking that prime directive in the study.

          Ooh, okay thank you.

          I'm surprised trans women were more likely to say something, I thought not saying anything was a big thing for trans women (I have consumed too many contrapoints videos)
