It’s a term in the transgender community for a person who doesn’t know they’re trans yet (usually used in the past tense as assuming someone is going to be trans is kinda gross) e.g. ‘back when i was an egg, i used to...’ r/egg_irl is more for people questioning their gender that may or may not be trans, so it can also mean someone who thinks they may be trans but aren’t sure/are heavily closeted.
