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

Wtf is a "sex class." Rowling is so British she's can only describe things in caste systems.

Also she just declared having androgyn insensitivity syndrome means you're not a woman I guess. Do transphobes think people walk around with PCR equipment to analyze chromosomes before deciding which pronouns to use

Upper sex: You bother the other kids at boarding school and grow up to harrass the servants.

Middle sex: Having sex with your wife would be improper but at the weekends you go to some fine digging locations.

Lower sex: You shag in the bushes outside the pub

West sex: fucking up your fellow Anglos but getting crushed by French-vikings of all ridiculous people that ever existed.

I'm at the pub as I write this. Where are my fellow lower sexers at?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 3 months ago

All their "definitions" are just ad hoc bullshit designed to support their insane pre-existing intuitions. There's not even a pretense of ideological consistency. I guarantee that you have, in making this post, put more critical thought into the question than any of these transphobic freaks have in their whole lives.

Sex class is something I'm instituting once I become secretary of education, its inbetween critical race theory and being gay

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago

I’m British. Fuck knows what a “sex class” is….maybe it’s what we called Personal and Social Education in school.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

What sex class is the tank?

If they were internally consistent about their beliefs they'd have xray microscopes to detect ovaries, but they don't and think they can "just tell". They don't even know where their beliefs come from

This is like watching the cringe Olympics. Although both of them are world class, only one can emerge victorious.

You have posted cringe. You will loose subscriber.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 months ago

she undermines her point several times in the stupid tweet by saying it doesn't even matter if a woman has a "rare difference of sexual development" that prevents her from producing gametes

transphobes finally learn that chromosomes aren't universal, try another biologically feature to pin their transphobia against, and instantly fail

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago

The largest gametes, folks. Bigly. More and more people are saying it, believe me. a-little-trolling

What determines whether you "belong to the sex class that produces large gametes" ?

Obviously this horrendous wording is a (poor) attempt at inclusivity of people that have bodies that don't produce large gametes, but are supposed to. But what other factors are determining their inclusion in this sex class if they don't produce large gametes? There must be something that is including these people, what is it?

What if your sperm is just massive

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Macrospermia, yeah. Terrible medical condition, the sperm is basically a .50 cal bullet blowing clear through the egg. Big impact on fertility as you'd imagine.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

well it's only logical that it would impact fertility rates, after all women can't get women pregnant berdly-smug

and good thing, too, can you imagine how huge a baby born from two Large Gametes would be? They'd be XBox huge... as a fetus!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

or now all intersex people who fit this are women, whether they like it or not

that elderly grandfather in india who had a hysterectomy because he was having stomach pains and didnt even know he was intersex and had many grandchildren with his wife? woman. 100% woman.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Presumably it also means women didn't exist before the invention of the microscope and those kooky ancients were using the word wrong

There's a subculture of terfs that believe every single person in any position of power is secretly trans

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Is this for real? These people, man.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It, as most chud conspiracies do, ties into the whole blood libel / Jewish cabal thing. It's a belief that there is a subsection of immortals fed by child abuse who change gender every few years or decades so they don't get caught, but who also always occupy positions of fame and power.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Is that what the 2010ish conservatives who'd pass around jpegs of Michelle Obama, with wrinkles or shadows in clothes circled in mspaint, and go "That's a penis!" evolved into?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah but are they calling Elon afab? Or a trans woman? Either which way what is their point? I truly don’t understand. These people are completely cooked.
