Egg

An egg is an individual who is in denial or has not realized that they are transgender. They commonly perceive themselves as cisgender. The egg is a metaphor for not yet "cracking", which is the moment of realization or the end of being in denial that one is transgender. The "(egg)shell" is symbolic of still believing one is cisgender, but that one's true self is contained inside. The term is sometimes used as a joke towards or by cisgender individuals that behave in a manner that could be perceived as from a transgender individual.
