And Time is a Reoccurring Dream

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.

My dear friend Hanbe and her family are moving states to pursue a job opportunity and financial stability after a long term period of hardships and medical emergencies. Her father is disabled and her mother has suffered stress seizures during this time that have added to the strain of maintaining a household without an income while job searching. They are in need of support for a 2 week hotel stay during this transitional period as they secure shelter and start making a steady income again, which will cost ~$3000.
