    I personally love that these boys can still fully identify as men and use he/him pronouns while still exploring their personal styles and fashion choices. Men deserve the freedom to explore and be creative with their appearance. Being pretty shouldn’t be exclusive to women!

      Ok yeah, I worded it a bit badly, I edited the text so it’s hopefully more clear.

      No Invalidation Gender Identity. Specifically no calling people eggs, also known informally as egging, which is trying to insist that a femboy (or any other GNC person) must be trans due to being GNC

      Basically it’s saying they must be a girl (trans) because they dress like one. Was a popular thing to do in r/Egg_irl a while back (at the expense of the femboys featured) which is where the term egg came from and why it became known as ‘egging’.

          Egg - a transgender person that has yet to come out of their “shell”.

          When a person first makes the realization that they might be transgender, it’s referred to as “cracking your egg” in the trans community.

          Also, in popular culture it’s commonplace to say that a person who is in denial is “putting up walls”, so an egg is like a type of wall that completely surrounds you. Cracking your egg involves tearing down those walls.

    Power to ya and I know I wish I had a place like this when I was a teen. I hope this place is a very very safe place, with thorough and trustworthy moderators. Knowing Blahaj.zone, I think it will be.
