As a trans person I can't do math, I always get my x's and y's confused.

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION] drowning kid + skeleton Meme

In the top panel a mother and her kids are together in a swimming pool. The mother with text "egg_irl" is holding up her daughter with the text "transfems" over her. Meanwhile her son is drowning while she doesn't notice him with the text "transmascs" over him.

In the bottom Panel a skeleton is chained to a chair at the bottom of the ocean with the text "NonBinary/Genderqueer", "Genderfluid", and "Agender" over it. Each label is colored in the colors of their own Flags respectively.

[END OF IMAGE DESCRIPTION]

context: Back on the original egg_irl subreddit it was common for there to be a disproportionate amount of transfem memes versus the others and a lot of them forgot to flair as [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem] when needed and also a few were a bit targeting towards transmascs and masculine enbies i.e.

spoiler"get rid of your toxic, masculine mannerisms"
or
spoiler"transmascs have cute feminine faces"
. Some people even started saying Egg_irl is specifically a women's space and not a trans space in general.

Context:
Found myself experiencing a ton of gender envy yesterday while referencing this image of Rainbow Dash for something. Almost got intense. So of course I decided to spend hours making a meme about it. 📝🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♀️

Image description:

The image is a still from Doctor Who (2005) episode S02E09 called The Satan Pit. The Doctor (played by David Tennant) is in a space suit, mischievously lurking around a large hole.

He says: "There it is again. That itch."

The original next lines from the show were: "Go down! Go down! Go down! Go down!" In this meme, those lines have been replaced by: "Transition! Transition! Transition! Transition!", which are in the colours of the trans pride flag

Bottom text: People think of gender as a binary of male or female, but actually, from a non-cisnormative, non-patriarchal perspective, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly gendy bendy stuff.

Text overlaying image: I'm a southern trans man. My transition goal is not Tom Holland, it's that old guy that keeps his cig butts in a special doctor pepper can and has three broke down cars he swears he'll fix just sitting in his backyard. I will wear the worlds ugliest shirts, and oldest shoes, and I have a "going out" shirt for when we go to Ruby Tuesdays. I want a big dog and a tiny TV on my carport that also serves as a front porch

Image containing two Pikachus. Both are smiling with eyes closed. They have two lines denoting noise close to the front of their faces. They are surrounded by hearts and simplified stars.

The one on the left is sitting on their hind legs and has a heart shape taped or stitched to the end of their tail to make it appear female.

The one on the right is laying on their belly and has something taped or stitches to the end of their tail to fill in the heart shaoe at the end and make it appear male.
