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

Something I heard Hasan say the other day. Being trans isn't a mental illness, being anti-trans is a mental illness. Because once you actually start looking into gender and realise its a social construct, you subconsciously start transvestigating people all around you and assuming they are trans (for actions/thoughts/feelings that are normal for heteros)
Horribly paraphrased of course
mental illnesses harm the affected people most of all. Not the case with transphobia except in some select regions
Yeah, I agree. The equivocation doesn't really add anything to it, it just stuck with me. Thanks for pointing that out.
don't worry

It's hard to measure what he actually achieves for the worse, but being a divorced freak is still less bad than being violenced
like, going down the transphobia rabbithole harms them pretty bad. the social isolation from caring too much about a niche issue is real.
being a seen as a weirdo by the KKKlub is still not as bad as being on the receiving end of the Daily Sturmer Propaganda imo
ehh, the transvestigators are too obsessed with tracking all the ways in which every single cis person ever is actually trans to pose much of a danger to us. the politicians and klan types who aren't obsessive scare me more. the ones who are incidentally transphobic wind up doing way more violence.
even unhinged nazis are still nazis and thinking they are legitimately ill is wrong, except if you count bullets as medicine
Narcissism and sociopathy can hurt others more
most of all, obv there are exceptions
Milo said something similar about TERFism in the UK. TEFFism will take over your entire life, even if you're otherwise a normal person.

i'm like a transvestigater but cool (i assume like 90% of the people i run into are trans but it's just because i'm looking for people like me. and crucially i don't do anything but feel good in the knowledge that i'm not alone)
