This is interesting! I actually didn't know what dogwhistling was and just learned from your article, Gemma.
I see how that's tricky when people make a benign statement that veils bigoted beliefs. I am a trans woman and would love to say I <3 JK Rowling. So much disapproving press is excruciating for anyone to handle, so I really feel for her during this time. Nevertheless, I might not be comfortable making an I <3 JK Rowling statement for the reasons stated in this article. Lots of trans people are in a vulnerable position too right now. Counting on society to continue getting more accepting and accommodating. Thanks for your writing.
