It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

She's coming out as trans as a public service to warn everyone about evil AGPs. Next she's going to come out as a white woman to warn us about The Great Replacement

Transmedicalism is the proposal that trans people are only legitimate if a medical professional says they are. It's saying that being trans is a condition to be treated, not an inherent part of someone's identity.

People like this also tend to say being trans is only valid if HRT and surgery are involved. The reality is someone is trans the moment they declare themselves trans. It's an individual's decision on whether or not they relate to a trans experience, and no medical screening is necessary to authorize them

Ah, thank you comrade, I thought that might be the case but I was very confused. Caffeine hasnt hit yet.
