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

She's coming out as trans as a public service to warn everyone about evil AGPs. Next she's going to come out as a white woman to warn us about The Great Replacement

When a woman turns 40 the sex fairy comes along and locks up her genitals and installs a sign that says "sorry too old"

For some reason this doesn't happen to men tho

[–] rayne@hexbear.net 31 points 2 months ago

Men are the sex faery in this scenario

We came together as a society and invested millions in a pill for that.

Speaking as someone who started transitioning after 40:

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 63 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If your primary interest in being a woman is sexual, I hope you have a plan for your 40’s and onwards

Because we all know the moment a woman hits forty, her sexuality just ceases to exist overnight and they never want to have sex or are sexually desired ever again. Transphobes can’t help but shuttle in some misogyny in with the transphobia.

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 57 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (10 children)

Yeah what the fuck is this nonsense. Like she just thinks people at 40 stop having sex?

Or has she internalized the most toxic ideology from the manosphere about "The Wall" where as soon as you're 40 you magically turn ugly?

Deeply fucked up

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago

She's 47. Guess she's telling on herself

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago

Probably some gross shit about eggs and ticking biological clocks

Fuck people who spread this narrative that you shouldn't transition unless you feel you have absolutely no other choice. I knew I would have preferred to be a woman for years before I started transitioning, but since I was sometimes "okay" and my depressions mostly seemed unrelated to gender I thought I wasn't trans enough to actually transition because of ideas like this.

Even though I'd never call transitioning easy or innocuous (who does she think is doing this?), it has actually given me the capacity to feel happy and fulfilled and I haven't gone this long without a depressive episode since my early teenage years. aubrey-happy But I never felt like I "had" to do it. I could have chosen to lead an empty, unfullfilled life as a cis man for the rest of my life.

Also the last paragraph is weird as fuck and the only people I know who try to reduce the trans experience to something primarily sexual are transphobes. But also, I'm pretty sure you don't need to retire from sex when you pass 40, like is the sex police going to come stop you at that point?

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

choosing this manner and purpose for coming out as trans seems...... Cynical....

[–] beef_curds@hexbear.net 55 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

This one hit me so hard. Because I transitioned long ago, and it's just that these assholes have never gone away. It's people who think any experience other than their own is invalid. Back then it was everyone should be tortured by real life test to prove they're trans enough. And they always position themselves spokespeople for the community, because their experience is the only one that matters.

To come out publicly for the first time, just so you can pull the ladder up. Fuck you. These people do so much damage, and delay so many people with their nonsense. They're pure poison and I wish the hurt they do to the community were reflected onto them.

In conclusion, I want to scream.

"You should not transition unless" lemme stop ya right there, ma'am how-compelling

[–] KnilAdlez@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago

terfs will claim you'll regret transitioning for the rest of your life, but won't warn you away from going to grad school

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

the downsides are immense

compared to the downsides of denying yourself the rest of your life?

anyway, she's pathetic

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The downsides: You'll face discrimination from people like Brianna Wu.

[–] HamManBad@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She's basically getting mad that people give bad takes on Twitter sometimes, and is trying to remedy that by... posting bad takes on Twitter

"Social contagion" is such a hitler-detector way of making this point. Are there some trans people who realized they were trans because of the increased visibility and acceptance of trans people? Yeah, definitely. Nobody is "catching trans" from talking to or seeing trans people out in public though. That's simply not a thing. These folks were always trans, but hearing more about the trans experience helped them realize it and embrace their identity. That's a fucking good thing you grifting piece of shit.

If anything is socially contagious, it’s fascism. The ideology everyone in the west is because it’s hip and trendy.

I'm not sure I understand the term in the CW, transmedicalism?

[–] axont@hexbear.net 38 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Transmedicalism is the proposal that trans people are only legitimate if a medical professional says they are. It's saying that being trans is a condition to be treated, not an inherent part of someone's identity.

People like this also tend to say being trans is only valid if HRT and surgery are involved. The reality is someone is trans the moment they declare themselves trans. It's an individual's decision on whether or not they relate to a trans experience, and no medical screening is necessary to authorize them

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Ah, thank you comrade, I thought that might be the case but I was very confused. Caffeine hasnt hit yet.

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Transmedicalists believe the only people who should transition are those diagnosed with gender dysphoria. They are anti-DIY and believe in a strict binary.

[–] beef_curds@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

Being anti-diy was always stupid, but it's especially stupid right now for someone in the US/UK to still be grinding that axe as official care is being made illegal or unobtainable. But the people who push anti-diy are insulated, ig.

After being hated by gamergate chuds for over a decade, she pulls this shit. I have to assume that being loathed is just a fetish at this point.

[–] TheBroodian@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Lmao what? She came out as trans decades ago. What a fucking grifter

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

really? i never knew. figure the gaters would've jumped on that

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

She got outed during gamergate and people were throwing around old photos, deadname, etc. Idk if she ever acknowledged that though.

it couldn't be that the incidence of folks whose life is improved by transition is greater than the special kinds of privileged and extremely long-suffering women who were able to jump through the hoops of the old gatekept process that inevitably funnelled you to GRS with no regard for the individual's needs...

No, the proliferation of my very special secret identity that i'm revealing now is bad, actually.

A better person would use their position to make life better, not kick down.

what a piece of shit

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait she's just come out as trans?

I hear about this person semi frequently and feel like she's always been referred to as she/her?

Or have I misunderstood and they were presenting as cis female but are now transmasc?

[–] Babs@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She is a trans woman but was not open about her trans status before.

White liberal trans woman is a shortsighted transmed who is totally unempathetic regarding the reality of being a different type of trans person than her

[–] imogen_underscore@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago

when im in charge the trans people who are like her and blaire etc will be exiled to a special island with no internet connection. they will be given enough food and like board games and stuff but they have to stay there.
