The 'Egg' meme is a central metaphor within the transgender community, referring to an individual who has not yet realized or come out as trans. 'Cracking the egg' represents the breakthrough moment of self-discovery and the beginning of a gender transition. Popularized largely on social media platforms like Reddit—specifically the r/egg_irl subreddit—the meme often features the phrase 'still cis tho' used ironically to mask obvious signs of gender dysphoria or euphoria. It serves as both a humorous way to reflect on one's past denial and a supportive tool for those currently navigating their own gender identity.
