    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?

        It’s also a style of architecture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingbat_(building)

        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
