Egg-baiting

A type of conversion therapy and bullying where someone is made to doubt their comfortableness with their biological sex, sexual orientation, and gender presentation, often to convince them to transition from their biological sex to a mimicry of the opposite sex.

A person may very well be comfortable with how they are, but under pressure, crack and hatch into a trans identity to find relief. A person who has not yet hatched under the egg-baiting is said to be an egg waiting to hatch.

"I can't believe the egg-baiting of my sister by the alphabet soup kids just because she's bi and likes trucks and masculine styles."

Egobaiting

Posting something online with the intention of boosting one's own ego. Similar to the popular "ragebaiting" to influence someone to become angry. Egobaiting is done to make people feel good about themselves when they are insecure, lonely, or need validation from complete strangers.

That girl just posted another bikini pic on Instagram!

Yeah, she's egobaiting.
