I’m not really a fan of this, it seems to imply that the act of being on hormones somehow makes someone trans or will make someone trans. Even if it isn’t intentional at all. It implies that physical changes are deterministic of gender identity, and ignores the fact that there are people who indeed feminize while identifying as male, or even nonbinary.
I know these types of memes are usually posted as jokes but it’s important to recognize the deep problems in them, otherwise we as a community risk perpetrating harmful stereotypes and ideas. Like what has happened and continues to happen on reddit.com/r/Egg_irl
I appreciate that concern, and wondered about it myself. I ultimately decided it could still hold power for eggs, but you’re probably right about the potential harm not being worth it. I’ll remove it
