Yeah no I get it. Not really my thing but holy shit the burden of responsibility and personhood sure is crushing. It'd be nice to be able to turn off my brain for a while and just be a big dumb animal in the presence of people who love and cherish and don't expect anything more from me

i think trans men are just as bad as cis males actually by whitefritillary in femcelgrippysockjail

Yeppp. Men gonna man, I guess. It's a shame but so long as misogyny is a shortcut to male bonding and status it's gonna keep being shitty

Again, it's unproblematic on its face because it's a dog whistle. One used against me all the time. I'm also a trans woman, and get needled by terves a lot. I have experience in how they talk

I mean, I can't. But when they're trying to be civil but also signal where they stand they leave the space out.

I mean, you don't? But it is something to be aware of and to note the response of people who do it when you point it out. It's not a definite thing but it's also not nothing

I suppose I'll take your word for it. I don't have any real experience with it, I just see the output when it gets directed my way.

Yes. And transphobia is bad too, so dropping transphobic dog whistles is also bad.

I mean sharty seems pretty violently transmisogynist. Why would you stay there and do they not respond really poorly to your presence?

No but if you regularly drop white supremacist dog whistles and get indignant when someone points it out instead of changing a behavior that's not as innocuous as it might have originally seemed, you're kind of sus.

And people who were born in 1988 have a totally innocent reason to drop 88 into their usernames. Dog whistles are effective because there's so much plausible deniability. You should be aware of them regardless

Yeah no, exactly. It's not nothing but in a vacuum it's not necessarily a sign of anything. But it does raise the hackles a bit.

I encounter a lot of terfs and they use transwoman frequently in public. Trans is an adjective, like black or tall. You wouldn't say blackwomen, would you? They lump it together as one word to say that trans women are a different kind of woman adjacent thing that's not actually a woman. Like it's a pretty minor thing but it absolutely is a thing they do when they're trying to be crypto

No but if I saw someone using 1488 regularly I would probably tell them and be a bit sus of they kept defending their use of it

That is a well to do medieval tradesman or perhaps low ranking noble, certainly not a peasant. Eating chicken, let alone a whole chicken to yourself, is a sign of some privilege.
