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

I was called a bigot by 7 or 8 different people because I dared to suggest that when someone finishes transitioning, they are no longer trans.

Lol bruh that is bigoted, it reinforces the gender binary. Dude was so confident about this they responded to multiple comments with this.

Checked to see what that one got banned for and...

Person with weird stance on transpeople is in fact a transphobe.

"It's a complicated issue. On the one hand, I am credulous enough to swallow the bait of this wedge issue hook-line-and-sinker. On the other hand, I actually am bigoted but don't want to admit it."

I remember that bigot. It was more than 7-8 times especially if you count jokes that implied he was a bigot

Ayyyyyy it's the one I called out!

Not only does it reinforce the gender binary, its also is a transmedicalist reactionary take that trans people all need to become indistinguishable from cis people to become "cured of gender dysphoria."

Nobody called them out about this immediately in that thread because it fit the "evil alt right alt left ultra tankie authoritarian ruzzian CCP teenage hexbear conformist" narrative.

Only 7 or 8? Those are rookie numbers!

its pretty funny, but i don't know if having transphobia as a site tagline is a good idea

I say this person and yeah, this is one of the most wildly bigoted takes masquerading as pro-trans I've ever seen. Absolute truscum teansmedicalist garbage. Non-binary erasure. If I were of less sound mind I'd go make an account on that instance and ask if they have any clue what a gender fluid person is, or genderqueer, or asexual.

Finish transitioning? Who even decides that? When they're cis passing? And this person is completely unchallenged in that thread. Over here they'd be ripped apart and probably banned. Is this why these liberal shitheads think we're so aggressive? They're so used to spouting off transphobia and getting no pushback on it.
