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

Sorry for the lack of link, site is reactionary so I can't link directly, and trying to save it to web.archive just gives a blank page EDIT: citrussy_capybara kindly provided a link to a working archive. CW for (obviously) mega transphobia.

Anyway, here's all the proof you need that TERFism isn't about protecting women from men, it is and always has been about hating trans people.

“we like having actual men in the women’s bathroom and assume they’re 99% not in here to perv, with the added benefit that they might physically assault trans women” is such a mask-off take

I am proud to say I got a guy in a cowboy hat really mad yesterday by using the "women's bathroom" at a McDonald's. The bathrooms were a series of three lockable doors, leading to identical rooms, labelled: Men, Women, and Handicapped (their words, not mine). All three rooms had accessible toilets, their own sinks, and had vending machines for hygiene products.

Double bonus funny points: he didn't even register my (FTM) son using the "men's bathroom" at the same time.

Honestly every time I'm in a building and I see gender-segregated single-toilet restrooms, my mental mp3 player starts playing "Once in a Lifetime"

like at this point why not just do coed bathrooms

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

TIM's

I assume this is some stupid slur that I haven't heard before?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Exactly.

More (extremely transphobic) details:TIM stands for "trans-identified male", it's what TERFs call trans women and transfem people more generally, and also apparently cis woman Imane Khelif (I am become jonkler).

There's a transmasc counterpart, TIF for "trans-identified female".

I'm sure a huge part of the draw here is that Tim is a man's name while Tif (short for Tiffany) is a woman's name.

It's more "They call us TERFs and we don't like it so we will make up an acronym for THEM and see how THEY like it!" It really is that petty. Also the trans denialism.

Rushing to the women's room to pee when I see a guy with this shirt standing guard in front of the stalls:

[–] [email protected] 25 points 3 months ago

Dad, could you please not stand in front of the stall - it's embarassing and kind of creeping me out!

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

I mean if terfs just want a safe female space for them exclusively, we can just round them all up in a room and drop a nuke on them. Problem solved😊

archive linked in the sidebar works with it

Thanks, I'll add this to the post!

Posy Parker beat em to this lmao. No original thought among terfs.

Also reading this & forgetting wtf TIM means is liberating.

What a bunch of fuckin losers

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

to be real for a moment we should have no problem as a society just making bathrooms gender neutral and it wont be an issue but of course we arent ready for that yet as a society because cis-men and thats something they know fundamentally but somehow still cant admit it and want to blame it on trans women smdh

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

God its been so long since I have glanced at terf shit. Seeing these terms like TIMs gave me whiplash.
