Egg as in “hasn’t hatched yet”? So once you realize you’re trans you “hatch”?

Basically. When you finally realize/accept it we call that cracking.

Once eggs hatch they become chicks

True, but now I am wondering if trans men also use the term

yeah that too, though the definition of “egg” is pretty fluid from what i’ve seen, or at least, that’s how i saw it (so many people joking “still cis” and “i’m an egg” that idk if they’re just joking about it, or if they’re checking out a new identity but making it all a joke is easier? idk)

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.
