About
"Dress Go Spinny", also referred to as "Skirt Go Spinny", is a popular catchphrase used in the LGBTQIA+ community. The phrase is used as a tongue-in-cheek way to deflect criticism or inquiries as to why a trans woman transitioned, similar to how Money Printer Go Brr is used in the Wojak template.
Origin
The catchphrase is thought to have originated on Twitter. On July 18th, 2019, Mia Mulder (@Potatopolitics) posted a tweet reading:[1]
Trans women transition for one single,
depraved sexual reason:
Dress go spinny
The tweet was later reposted on Reddit the same day.[2]
