      If you left out calling them a dingbat your point is exactly the same.

        Transphobic shit bags are seeking out stories about Nex and seeing what they can get away with because they know it’s a really good opportunity for them to grind salt into some peoples’ wounds

          Once again. Calling people names didn’t reinforce your point. It usually does the opposite. Your anger doesn’t make your point more poignant.

      Not really, but do go on with your transphobic remarks.

        Can you point out what that person said that was transphobic? From the reply it just seems like that they were pointing out that a toxicology report is something that’s fairly routine. What did I miss?

            It’s funny, because I literally just left a thread in which I was agreeing with them and then I saw the notification of your comment.

        When did ‘dingbat’ become transphobic?

        Has ‘dingbat’ become a new epithet for trans people?

        Because it apparently originally was the name of an alcoholic drink and has been used to describe a stupid person since 1905.

        Care to tell us where you heard that the word was transphobic?

          That’s unfortunate for the small local music and dive bar near me called dingbatz then…

            Maybe it’s named after the printer’s ornament?

              It is… oh boy. I have only been twice since my friend has a metal band that plays there sometimes. I never knew and I doubt he knows that as well since he is definitely not into that either.

                Yeah, it’s definitely not as widely-known a thing as it should be. Plenty of perfectly respectable bands play there too, still… but also some Nazis
