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...

If it's in Clifton, those guys support white power bands 😕

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
