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

I'm going to regret asking this, but what does "Desister/Detrans" mean
"Desister" is someone who identified as trans at one point, did not undergo any medical treatments for it, and then returned to being cis. I think. It's like, detrans, but with extra trans-medicalism.
There have been a lot of cases online of people identifying as such, then espousing transphobia from a position of "I was trans once so I know it's bad" which is not only really shitty, but opens up a whole big can of worms about "who's really trans" that can delve deep into talk of stolen valor, trans-medicalism, people who just transition socially vs those who undergo medical treatments, nonbinary people taking stray shots all over the place... It can be a bad place in trans discourse.
An anti trans person that usually is stealing trans valor. There are other and more useful ways to consider it. However no one being annoying on Twitter is going to be one of the thoughtful cases.
