Comment on boymoder with bisexual cis gf
shneancy@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoif you mean “boymoder” that word often refers to closeted trans women (also called eggs), who have yet to fully socially transition and wear masculine clothing. Sometimes this word is also used by people experimenting with their gender

An egg is a trans person who hasn’t realized/accepted that they’re trans yet, not just one that’s in the closet.

I can’t speak for other people. But at least for me all the “still cis” and “I’m an egg hahah” was pretty much checking out a new identity but using humor to make it easier like you said.
