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

when someone finishes transition, they are no longer trans

For anyone who isn’t sure how to explain why this is wrong, here’s what I came up with:

  1. It’s better to think of transition progress in terms of how often you are content vs whether or not you’ve achieved some completed state.
  2. Transitioning does not retroactively fix your AGAB being wrong and all the harm that comes with that. It does not negate the experience of needing to transition in the first place.
  3. There’s a difference between being “cis-passing” in most of your interactions with cis people and being mostly-content with your transition. These stages usually happen at different times if they both happen at all and the OP’s comment feels like it’s prioritizing cis people’s perception of “passing” over trans people’s contentedness.

Updating your name and gender at the DMV and they hand over your state mandated Sailor Moon cosplay over the desk

Is it cosplay if it's a uniform?

I'm assuming there will be religious exemptions for some people who prefer Cardcaptor Sakura

Until then it's practically mandatory that you constantly say, "This isn't even my final form!"

I saw that person and it's the most ludicrous position I've ever heard. I think I get the idea they don't regard NB people as real too. Finish transitioning? Who decides that?

I think this person is what's called truscum, as in, they think being trans is entirely HRT and surgery. Once the surgery is complete, then that's when the transition is over? What an confusingly stupid opinion.

That person is complaining we called them a bigot and they go out of their way to say weird bigoted things

exactly lol. to them being trans is a disease that is simply fixed with a medical procedure, not a social position within coercive gendered society.
