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

My mom sent me this and said "must watch"
My mother is a post-op trans woman btw, and also the most reactionary conservative person I have ever met.
Brain worms are real
May even be some boomeresque sunk cost fallacy: "UNLESS YOU SPENT X DOLLARS ON SURGERY LIKE I DID, YOU DON'T COUNT!"
there are a sect of (mostly, in my experience) older, white trans people who still seem to be locked into the rigid structure of gender roles and believe that you can only be considered your gender after numerous (very expensive!) surgeries and presenting in a certain way.
Capitalist mindset means everything is more legitimate if it's also more expensive.
Oh, nice apartment, but it's not a real house, unlike my McMansion.
Cute boat, but my yacht is better.
Oh you have a functional car? Yeah I drive a hummer.
Darling, you took an uber here? My chauffeur drove me in a limousine.
Etc etc.
That's why rich assholes make the worst relatives at social gatherings, too. They're the ones that must be the toppers all the time: "oh, you went on vacation to (affordable) place? I went to (expensive) place with authentic (foreign thing that is prestigious to insufferable rich assholes)" as a regular conversation topic.
To a large degree it's a function of what medical gatekeeping for transition looked like until 2011 in the US. You get through that either by learning to lie to doctors (often with community support) or internalizing it heavily.
You still see that with younger transmeds/people who self identify as HSTS. But I think you're right that it's mostly older white trans people.
oh yeah it is absolutely the medical structure that made so many of them internalize it. i've observed that so many of them seem to treat transness as a disease or an unfortunate affliction they must overcome through treatment and that's 100% a result of navigating the medical system. its an inherent flaw with tying transition to the medical system i think, but i digress.
but its also just them being older too. they just grew up with heavier enforcement of the patriarchal standard (women look this way, men look this way, you need these parts to be female and these parts to be male). its super generational, i think younger transmeds are a very loud yet tiny minority.
Transmedicalists are unfortunately a real thing, and as you could imagine, they do tend to be very white and privileged.
the 5% of trans people that look at caitlyn jenner and are like 'wow i wanna be exactly like her'
Does she still say stuff like "gender identity disorder" unironically?
Her Twitter bio says "challenging transactivist nonsense" so
She's a party functionary of the local log cabin republicans and has showed up (in the news) at anti drag-story time protests.
She's obsessed with the groomer narrative. It's funny at one point she used to say she knew she was trans since she was a child. Now it seems she thinks children shouldn't even know transgender people can exist. I think it's some kind of narcissism in which she thinks she's legitimately transgender and everyone else was tricked into it.
It's wild
Doesn't this mean she's the groomer in the case of raising you? Do transphobic people not have a cell of logic in their brains?
She wasn't out till I was like 15
Though once I asked her if her and my stepmom were grooming me when they'd watch RuPaul with us since we were 10-12 lmao she got pissed as hell "not the same"
No internal logic
Trans-medicalism is a particularily caustic type of brainworm.
Did you find it? Don't want to dox myself but feel free to clown on her as long as it doesn't come back to me lmao
I just assumed there was a
because unless someone pays the bazinga tax there's hundreds if not thousands of bazingas that are prioritized in front of anything the person posts.
Oh well you're right though, that fool pays for Twitter
Something something leopards eating faces
"Tokens get spent"
And you still speak with this person?!
She is weird
