translation: i fucking hate trans women specifically but i cant say that so ima say essentially "males" except slyly make it obvious i dont mean cis men at all. teehee!!!

The first callout of a transfemme I didn’t see until years later and it was directed at monetizeyourcat for financially abusing and pressuring young trans women into sex.

Rhetorical dogwhistles are things that most people would not be able to identify as bigoted because they're INTENDED to have plausible deniability.

The wording changes are meant to be subtle enough that people really can mix them up accidentally when they don't have much information!

So when the gender critical movement calls trans women "transwomen", they're hoping for 2 things.

this usage will spread enough among people who don't know any better, to give transphobes the plausible deniability of not LOOKING like a frothing bigot constantly.

the usage grammatically places trans women in a different category than other women; it's changing "trans" from an adjective to part of a noun to make this distinction.

The more we can avoid this usage, the less deniability have transmisogynists have when using it, and the less rhetorical ground we cede to the degendering and misgendering of trans women.

I don’t know how much longer I can keep begging. For days, I have been posting, sharing, and asking for help, hoping that someone would hear my cry. My mother and father are elderly, their health is getting worse, and they urgently need their medication. We still need $477, and time is running out.😔

The Tumblr account I relied on to reach people was deleted, and it felt like another door closing in my face. I am exhausted, scared, and carrying a weight that feels impossible to bear. All I want is to get the medicine my parents need before their condition becomes even worse.💔

If only 19 people donate $25, we can reach the goal. We can do this together. Please don’t scroll away. What may seem like a small amount to you could mean everything to my family 😔💔

I have been pleading for days because I have no other choice. My parents spent their lives loving me, protecting me, and sacrificing for me. Now they need help, and I cannot bear the thought of losing them because I couldn’t afford their medication. Please, from the bottom of my heart, donate if you can and share our story if you cannot. Every minute matters, and every act of kindness brings us one step closer to saving my mother and father 🙏💔😔
