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 just want to note that from everything I've read about this, it's specifically trans women being targeted, not just trans people in general. It's not (just) transphobia, it's transmisogyny. And some of the online discussions I've been seeing about this are using the chance to complain about how trans women talking about their specific oppression are the real transphobes anyway, which is infinitely infuriating to me.
that's very much true, and the woman who got targeted at the start was well known for (among other things) talking a lot about transmisogyny. which makes the people bitching and moaning about how people talking about it are the real transphobes even more infuriating if that was at all possible
