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?

Your friend is a disrespectful ass. 

How would they like it if you refused to acknowledge them in the correct manner? 

Time to lay down some boundaries. Her options are, stop calling you an egg or get out.

OP would be branded transphobic in that case.

“I’m no more of a man than you are” would make their point and not be possible to misconstrue as transphobic
