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

honestly, upon reading this, there is very little original work here, its mostly citing a bunch of news articles (including quite a lot of washington post) and wagging her finger at global south countries. if you pay close attention to /r/transgender or something you could get most of this info yourself.
all so very english of her
a book like this really needs more input from other trans people as well, its unhelpful for her to expound on lgbt issues in africa when she herself is not african or has never visited africa or has never interviewed an african trans woman. there is also the issue of grouping all of africa into one section, when it is incredibly diverse. by not interviewing people directly, she is simply regurgitating information straight from western propaganda outlets and loses a lot of nuance in every story and the potential of learning secretive information about each trans community (re: historical information, justifications, etc.) .
