i thought the egg prime directive was to not tell ppl like femboys that they are trans, not people who show signs

The egg prime directive is not about answering questions or helping when asked for help, but for telling you, when you are not asking for it. Because the chances are very high, that you do not believe the person, and are building even more egg shell then before. If the person comes to you and ask you: Might I be trans, you can freely answer maybe, but I help you figure out. But approching you and telling you without you asking for input, that chances are very very high, that you are saying: no, never - mayne even feel mocked - and start building the next layer of your shell and even break the relationship, so you are not there to help, if you are needed.
I have a cousin, she is trans too, and her reaction to my comeing out was: I could have told you ten years ago. I was angry, did not understand why she did not told me, but she was right, I would not believe her.
Seems the line between helping someone self discover and outright TELLING someone they are trans are different things.
I think it’s just a general “don’t outright tell someone, but help them if they need it” kinda thing?
Maybe treat every person as an individual with their own needs and sensitivities? Make your choice based on the people you’re talking to, not randos on the internet who are probably AI engagement farms anyways.
I just wanted to highlight that whenever you’re talking to someone on the internet it’s a 50/50 it’s an actual human, and then a 50/50 they are being honest.

still confused. Can someone who knows more help?

I agree, that’s what I took away from it. (see the paragraph after the quote)
It’s better to learn from other people’s experiences and not run into issues that you could have avoided from learning beforehand.
I agree is good to learn from other people.
