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

Dear glans, wtf is "inspo" but also I have not seen, yet I'm not shocked. (and also do not have netflix lol) Not the absolute first time religious types have been weirder about being gay than trans....

I meant "inspo" as in "inspirstion" like looking at a bunch of styles or crafts or athletics or other thing your aspire to. To motivate yourself to excellence.

Im sure this doc is available elsewhere. It is kind of slow and sad about a couple of scammers gaining power over a group of sad lonely women. I think it is the only actual case of ppl being apparently force transed. Done in service of a man who claims to be jesus or something. The cult was a thing to find a partner, but the tactics suggested by the leaders were not good. A bunch of the membership had restraining orders put on them as result of following directions... So they decided to start pairing up the followers in arranged marriages. but since mostly it was only women who joined, and they had a strong cishet vibe going, they needed men. So they started announcing to some of them they they were trans. And made them take hrt, get surgery, change names etc.

The doc managed to not be transphobic, they had a writer/academic jules forgetherlastname who is decent i think to provide context. It is just one of a series of very strange cult things.

Somewhat surprised it doesnt become a moral panic. Too complicated i guess. Too undeniably christian.
