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

In the comments some idiot is quoting the Torah as evidence that Judaism is inherently more tolerant of trans people than Islam and no one is mentioning the Torah is a holy book in both Judaism and Islam

It is my understanding that Iran covers costs of transition whereas Israel doesn't because their definition of gender dysphoria is too strict. Until earlier this year, Israel authorized only one guy for bottom surgeries for trans women, so the wait lists are very long. In 2008, the BBC claimed Iran carried out the second most sex change operations in the world behind Thailand.

We should share that factoid more often, learning that muh Iran islamist dictatorship has better trans policies than any of their oh so grand democracies would fry a lot of liberal brain.

Iran does it because they think it cures homosexuality lol

Ok, but still, pointing out that none of the western countries can be bothered to have better trans care than Iran would either make them think or cope and seethe.

It's strange, of course the context is important and can't be ignored by pointing to figures without explanation. Yet if LIB have a greater understanding and it comes from the right place, what good reason could there be for a lack of progress on their end? That there is too much freedom and that means certain fundamental rights and unambiguous (scientifically speaking, ofc scientific consensus at one point in the past had conversion therapy as its preferred method, there can be deferral to moral and ethical considerations in such cases) truths get caught in the crossfire because of freeze-peach

The more I try to think about it the more contradictions there are...

Not exactly the big W anyone should be looking for, as far as arguing against libs goes

Judaism is inherently more tolerant of trans people than Islam

Even if that was true that's not why people are opposing what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians you dipshits monke-rage

Liberals boil it down to being about whether "the Jews" or "the Muslims" are more virtuous and more deserving of sympathy as groups stalin-stressed

How much people deserve human rights is completely to how much they agree with the ideology of me, the liberal

thats funny, passages from I think Leviticus are the ones that are typically whipped out about how naughty crossdressing is.
