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 [email protected]
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 made the mistake of going to her Twitter to see the actual tweet but I couldn’t find it in the fucking ocean of anti-trans shit she is tweeting and retweeting.
Including the Communist Party of Great Britain too when they put out an anti-trans statement. She has completely lost her mind.
This is another reason why you shouldn’t have billionaires. Now that they don’t gotta work, all they do is tweet (see also Elon).
Trans people have always existed and language is catching up. Nothing has been renamed, we just gave names to things that didn't have them before. There isn't any contrivance there, that's just how language do be all the times. It's almost as precisely as far away from the mark as you could get from that quote.
There was a super cute story in one of my Polynesian anthropology textbooks. So a teenager named "Maria" kept acting like a boy and hooking up with girls. So the village got together and had a renaming ceremony. Maria became Mario. Got married to a woman a few years later. Adopted some kids. Everyone moved the fuck on.
There were some like...fairly minor things to get around when I was way younger but that was mostly cause abolishing gender as a concept had been sorta the stance I had learned and it took a bit of learning to get to where I fully understood things or at least as much as I do now, but it never once occurred to me thst being trans wasn't valid or anything. Like even if deep down I never believed it, that wouldn't really matter cause it's what other people wanna do with themselves.
Couldn't agree more with you, especially that last part. Like sure people do things I don't approve of but if they aren't hurting other people it's none of my business. Nobody is being harmed because a person wants new pronouns, a new name, or a change in appearance.
That's why JK is such an asshole. I've never seen a person make such a mountain out of a molehill in my life. And on a shit website no less. Real big loser energy for all to see.
