There’s a difference. And yes it becomes a dog whistle, not through the specific intent every single time it’s used (i don’t know you or what you think/feel about trans folks) but because it is often used to connect, again, to a long and tired and violent history of trans ppl as ‘confused’ ‘ill’ or in some way trying to be someone they’re actually not.
