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

This is true. Everbody with testicles eventually develops an intuition for how balls bounce of each other because they can feel it happening to them every step.

Trans women still dominate due to having experience with both 😔

Moooom I need a new xbox controller this one is trraaaaannnsss

Shut the fuck up

New rule: if your "sport" can't manage skill divisions without worrying about genitals it's gone. Your sport is fired. No more pool until you can figure out how to let everyone play. This goes for all the other sports too.

"The FEEEEMALE specimen famously doesn't have the special male pool table muscles that men evolved to fight naturally occuring pool tables in the wild, that's not sexist and transphobic, that's just science." smuglord

Biological Women can't lean over the table as far, because of the boobie

They argue that the involvement of [trans women] in ladies' competitions is deeply unfair because they have a clear physical edge over [cis women] competitors.

These advantages include possessing greater upper body strength enabling them to make a more powerful initial 'break' of the balls

AyyyyyOC-big youre-laughing tony-cheer

I made the actual data-laughing face irl I'm so brainbroken

famously the hardest part of pool, the break, in which you get more points the more balls you knock clean off the table.

Pool is an expensive dexterity tabletop game, not a sport lol

[–] iridaniotter@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Transphobia in sports cannot be meaningfully separated from white supremacy in sports. They use the same racist excuses against trans people, and the same transphobic excuses against black people (see: all the black athletes that get banned for not being feminine (read: white) enough). And the transphobes even have their own transgender pseudoscience they use as justification, much like their race science of last century.

pool is a game you play with a friend when you've got nothing better to do and you're in the basement at a richer person who you don't really know's party, how are you gonna be a star?

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

accidentally becoming a pool "star" because you spend all your free time at the local hole-in-the-wall bar getting drunk

[–] c0mpost 37 points 1 year ago

in this case, getting drunk and being transphobic

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The biological males all spread their enormous beards across the table at the start of every game. They use them to jostle the balls around, scoring points when it isn't even their turn. They wrap their long moustaches around her pool cue and yank her off balance whenever she takes a shot. They put their testicles on the table, painted to look like pool balls. Every single time.

Skill issue

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

Good, quit the sport forever, crawl in a hole, and never interact with anyone ever again. Hopefully the fate of every TERF everywhere

[–] WoofWoof91@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

bold stance from someone who practiced really hard at a game that's 99% played in pubs

[–] GarfieldYaoi@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The only "unfair advantage" transfemmes have is an unfair advantage in the "being cool as fuck" department.

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Women be bad at sports smh. L Women.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Trans women have too many bones to play pool or something smh

This whole discussion just reminded me that race car driving, Go-Kart racing, motorcycle racing, radio-car racing, paraglidng, gliding, motorboat racing, radio-boat racing, precision shooting, bull riding, and speedcubing are all the biggest sports that have no gender segregation.

Next Up: Chess champions refuse to play against transgendered opponents citing massively unfair advantage transgendered brains give in logic and critical thought processes.
