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

i'm really glad everyone is so sweet and considerate. I often don't even feel trans enough or that I'm not doing anything, since most people don't even know I'm nonbinary unless I tell them. I'm not on HRT or anything and don't have discrimination from my immediate family (extended family is a different story). All I've really faced is that coworkers and random people don't understand or believe me, they say I'm just making stuff up. But I know who I am and so do my comrades, so I'm really grateful for that. At most I sometimes feel like I'm "supposed" to present androgynous, but why? I'd rather just be comfortable and present how I feel like. I mostly dress as a mid-90s lesbian, like with skinny jeans and boots lol.
My biggest enby victory so far is a time when I went to jury duty. I'm registered in the county with my gender as "Other" and so the judge had literally no idea how to address me. Kept going back and forth between "Mister" and "Miss" and that kind of ruled.
