the_dunk_tank
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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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 think this tweet explains the concept pretty intuitively.
To make it more explicit, you could record a GIF placing the two gradients: pure red (
#FF0000) & pure green (#00FF00).Tell them that red is "man", green is "woman", & blue is "attack helicopter" or "dog", then demonstrate the huge "number" of values between red & green by color-picking random spots on the canvas. Challenge them to find a spot on the canvas has even a smidgen of blue.
Explain the perception of a gender binary by saying most colors are approximately red or approximately green, yet there is still a spectrum of in-between values impossible to succinctly enumerate.
If they genuinely have further questions, it'll be a good opportunity to teach. If not, they're probably deliberately trying to misunderstand.
