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

wait so if trans people win at things they need to be excluded? got it

We're allowed to compete but not to win, and we should be grateful for that privilege

well our winning is inevitable as the genius cis have pointed out given that all amab people receive olympic quality coaching and constant exhortations to athletic dominance from birth

I'm so glad that the cis arrived to tell me that my experience in men's locker rooms was actually fostering my growth as an athlete and not in any way gender violence that would push people out of sports. I felt so coddled and supported in my athletic pursuits

It must just be a coincidence that this Just Asking Questions shit in this thread leads to the same conclusion that virulent transphobes reach

(Fr though this guy assured my that the sexual harassment I faced as an egg was definitely not as bad as a woman would face and I want him to fuck off and die)
