Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.
Love Y'all and thank you for following this community

Sometimes it's just about doing what you can to survive. Being out opens you up to a lot of disadvantages and hardship depending on where you are and the resources available to you. For some who are struggling to get by and don't see a way forward, an opportunity to move to a new place or start a new job where people don't know you're queer/trans is an unfortunate but reliable option to gain a degree of socioeconomic stability, ideally in preparation for coming out again later on with a better starting hand next time.
Sometimes people look at the hardship they experience and go into denial, figuring they can live permanently in the closet like people used to do and still have a somewhat fulfilling life. I think it's sad, but sometimes folks just don't have the fight in them to live as their true selves when all they want is to be seen as "normal".
I get the motivations. Life is really hard for folks like us, especially in unsympathetic areas. I just mean, how do they manage it? Like, if I told my parents that I'm aroace, and they reacted badly, would I just say, "uhh, nevermind, I was just confused"? Would anyone really believe that? At that point, plausible deniability would just disappear for me. I suppose that if someone's parents really want a straight kid, their minds would probably do some mental gymnastics.
I don't necessarily think you'd be going back in the closet to everyone you came out to, but more likely cutting ties with people who take it badly and then playing it safe with a different crowd. Doing a reset somewhere else.
Wouldn't surprise me though if a lot of the parents out there who take it badly are also "pray away the gay" types who think it can be "cured" with some extra Jesus power. So if you just say "Oh hey I went to church and I'm all better now," they might be dumb enough to believe it, sad as it is.
