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

MODERATORS
Wait so did this person ever say that they were trans, they were asked and dodged the question
I actually am very interested to know because ideology can inhibit LGBT community outreach (re: make people shut-ins because they don't like other trans people because of what they've been told) and it's useful to me to understand how these kinds of trans people think so I can make ones nearby touch grass
Trawled their(her? Not listed) profile: seems like a pretransition egg that browses /TTTT/. usually when these people transition and are discriminated against, they come to the irl trans community for solutions (doctors lists, survival tips, free therapy) and slowly build class consciousness as bad experiences accumulate and information is shared (along with hugs) face to face.
They will eventually realize at this stage the only people that tangibly helped them were socialists and become more amicable towards socialist ideas. I've seen it happen a lot, it's not guaranteed obviously and the archetype varies country to country and by ethnicity but that's the vibe I'm getting.
