    the most truly masculine men i've ever met never felt the need to be this aggressive about how strong and manly they are.

    The flip side is there are plenty of eggs who had an "I'm a manly man who does manly man things" phase.

        Someone who is trans but hasn't realized it yet. Usually experiencing some form of internalized transphobia or denial before coming out.

        Breaking out of your egg is like the trans version of coming out of the closet to yourself

          Okie doke. In NZ, calling someone an egg means something else.

          It's like a lighthearted jibe usually delivered with no malice behind it to mean someone is being silly/ a clown.

            yeah we have a similar term in Aus. Calling someone an "egg" is the same. And "good egg" vs "bad egg" is also used
