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.
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

MODERATORS
Because they want to degrade someone. A crossdressing boy is their kink because they think it's degrading. They also only see it in an erotic context. They don't see a boy dressed as a girl as a fellow person or member of society, just an object of desire. They see a slab of meat and an outfit.
Whereas a trans girl with an explicit, stated identity is someone asking for respect. She's someone who announces her humanity and doesn't primarily exist in an erotic context. She's a full human being they have to reckon with. A trans woman's gender is a normal aspect of her identity and goes beyond being a kink or a type of clothes.
That's my guess from reading how they talk in forums about this stuff. They're also misogynists so throw that in the pile too.
I don't expect a lot of basic human respect out of transphobes
Extremely well put. Nothing to add but wanted to do more than just upvote
