Got the idea of posting this when I watched this YouTube video that talks about reasons men love playing as girls.

Why do you do it?
Are there more than one reason?
What do you enjoy about it the most?

The title clearly says male players smh

I wonder about that for myself, not gonna lie. But I've been wondering off and on for like fifteen years, so if I am an egg, I'm having very hard time cracking.

Well, I am very full of myself.

Gender and trans are a spectrum, so maybe your wandering in that plain is your gender identity? Nonbinary, genderfluid and pangender are labels that took me the longest time to grasp, but are what I’m comfortable now with. And also the aspect, that wether you bodily transition or not does not decide wether you wanna use the label trans for you or not. It’s free and one way or the other it’s great to open up that binary system.

Never heard of this being a term - what does it mean?

I had to look it up: apparently an "egg" is a maybe-possibly trans person who hasn't "hatched" into self-acceptance or self-recognition (yet). It seems like a really presumptive kind of thing to me, but also I kinda get it so maybe I'm an egg too πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ(πŸ€·πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ)

One of those things that can be kind of rude to imply, and only really works retrospectively.

[–] webalbatross@lemmy.studio 14 points 11 months ago

Egg is a term for a trans person that hasn't realized they are trans yet. Like an egg before it cracks and hatches.

Back when I was uncracked I almost exclusively played male characters so I wouldn't seem gay, but related more to female characters.

Of course, I'm extremely bisexual and was closeted about that too, but it didn't affect me too much to see the ass of either generally playable gender as long as they were hot. πŸ˜…

I also exclusively played male characters for pretty much the same reason. My bisexuality was so repressed though that I had no idea about it until after I started transitioning
