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.

There was a super cute story in one of my Polynesian anthropology textbooks. So a teenager named "Maria" kept acting like a boy and hooking up with girls. So the village got together and had a renaming ceremony. Maria became Mario. Got married to a woman a few years later. Adopted some kids. Everyone moved the fuck on.
There were some like...fairly minor things to get around when I was way younger but that was mostly cause abolishing gender as a concept had been sorta the stance I had learned and it took a bit of learning to get to where I fully understood things or at least as much as I do now, but it never once occurred to me thst being trans wasn't valid or anything. Like even if deep down I never believed it, that wouldn't really matter cause it's what other people wanna do with themselves.
Couldn't agree more with you, especially that last part. Like sure people do things I don't approve of but if they aren't hurting other people it's none of my business. Nobody is being harmed because a person wants new pronouns, a new name, or a change in appearance.
That's why JK is such an asshole. I've never seen a person make such a mountain out of a molehill in my life. And on a shit website no less. Real big loser energy for all to see.
