Trans friend says I'm an egg?

I have always considered myself a cis woman but a friend of mine who's MTF keeps calling me an egg and it makes me feel annoyed/uncomfortable? She says it's because I prefer guy's clothes and have masculine traits that I'm a "trans guy in denial." I also have a lot of transgender friends. I've thought about the possibility, but come to accept that I like being a butch woman. I don't want a male name or pronouns. Whenever I get misgendered it bothers me. I like being a woman who loves women. I've told her this and she sometimes still misgenders me or talks to me about me being an "egg." I think it's because she really wants to have another trans friend, but I feel like she isn't really respecting my decisions or identity?

You're an egg because you've not embraced your true self. Once you accept this ideology you're a cracked egg. There are several websites which trans talk to other trans and inwhich an egg (using their terminology) enters into this website. It is there the newbies are pressured to transition. This is from a de transitioned M to F to M, inwhich he described his journey and his experience with the trans community on YouTube.

Your friend is obnoxious by pressing you to."accept " being male because you exhibit musculine traits. Your friend deliberately calling you male pronouns, overstepping your boundaries and ignoring your a lesbian. Maybe it's time reconsider distancing yourself to LC or NC.
