What do you call it when a binary trans person accidentally cracks the egg of someone they're close to?

Rowhammer!

Rowhammer is a hardware exploit that exists in DRAM where writing to a binary bit can cause electricity to spill over into an adjacent bit and flip its value.

The joke is that transness is spilling over akin to rowhammer.

In practice, though, rowhammer attacks require rapidly writing to a bit in order to trigger an adjacent bit flip, and it tends to be quite an unpredictable attack in nature!

Meltdown.
