ok babies! time to learn what dogwhistle means, can anyone tell me what dogwhistle means? thats right! a dogwhistle is a rhetorical strategy that obfuscates less popular rhetoric of an ideology in order to spread it to wider culture and signal subtle agreement with the ideology, and often they are hidden through obscure or seemingly nonsensical quirks of linguistics or culture. now can anyone tell me what to do when you think the tranny is being too annoying about a dogwhistle that you've arbitrarily decided is not real even though she clearly and calmly explained it to you? that's right! you keep reminding her that you think she's dumb and talk down to her like she doesn't understand anything and she's overreacting, good job! you successfully "unintentionally" signaled to terfs that you are susceptible to conversion

#see Now i'm overreacting #i'm just a hater #sick of every tme on that post #why do they always write paragraphs of nothing but calling me hysterical #saying it's unintentional or that it's 'just a lack of a spacebar' is literally admitting #'i think i should be allowed to spread dogwhistles without being told not to'#cuz what they are describing is the proliferation of a dogwhistle #that's literally the strategy #don't whine about how you were playing along you're playing transmisogyny
