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

In the same time they're claiming Algeria is woke and sent a trans woman, they also claim Algerians are backwards who beat up women.

When I tell you these people are OBSESSED

I feel like I'm out of touch for just calling my trans comrades comrades and having it be that simple.

spoilerBut secretly I have a complex about the audience being upset when the athlete that was supposed to win loses. One of my most memorable wins in BJJ was when I was losing against an opponent who had their spouse and child there cheering for them, but then I got them with a wrist lock in the last minute and got to savor the surprise on their faces. More than winning, I enjoy being the reason that my opponent doesn't win. I relish when they try bully tactics on me and they don't work. If someone cried when I punched them in the face and then everybody got butthurt I would find it sweeter than the medal.

The discourse about this on chud twitter is insane. Full on ergot poisoning levels of derangement. They’re even going after that one cis rugby player who afaik is just very athletically built and has no chromosomal or genetic abnormalities.

Ilona Maher. She's tearing it up but she's not even that much of a monster in the grand scheme of women's rugby. There's players the same size as her on the 15 a side pitch all the time.

I haven't really kept up with rugby overall in recent years as much as I used to, but as for others who make Ilona seem a lot less scary: Portia Woodman, and Heather Fisher.

Heather's like the pale orc from The Hobbit. Looks like she'd just eaten a chair shot for fun as part of her warmup.

I know it's serious but I find it kinda funny. They're so mad about this trans sports shit.

So what does she just have PCOS? Is she intersex? I don't get it. There is nothing in what I can find that she's trans, but she apparently has high blood concentration of testosterone (unlikely this would even be the case if she was on HRT).

Bullshit she has high T.

The Olympics test that shit on trans athletes the moment they get into town and everyday since. Her T levels are within range of the other ladies T levels, I absolutely guarantee it.

This isn't rocket science, but it is unfortunately contentious, they got professionals doing the professional things.

Allegedly intersex according to TikTok

Why don’t you see transphobes complaining that there isn’t a height limit on basketball players? You know why.

It's so obvious when you look at these TERFs that chromosomes, hormones, height, bone density or whatever else they come up with are all just a psuedoscientific smokescreen. The only thing that matters is exactly the same thing that has always mattered in misogyny - gatekeeping who is and who isn't considered a woman. If you're tall, if you've got broad shoulders, if you've got naturally high testosterone it doesn't matter what you were assigned at birth, to them you are not a woman.
