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

Being trans in the abstract is good and virtuous. Being trans in reality is messy and difficult. It's not that you're only trans when it's convenient, it's that you're only trans when you're the specific trans person they made up in their head who totally agrees with them and also happens to think they should be able to say the n word when they're singing Lil Baby songs in the car on their way to their job as the associate director of client relations at some regional insurance company. You're supposed to say things to them like "yass kween" and "slay" and "you're such a Ravenclaw," not anything politically challenging.
Yeah, there’s a big difference in my transness between being convenient for me vs being convenient for them. I suppose that’s part of the joke. Cis liberals trying to “educate” me about my transness and saying I needed to Vote Blue No Matter Who was a big reason I quit Twitter. They really can’t handle the idea that someone is further left than they are.
