What is a Tankie?
(caution of biased source)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism, Islamic Terrorism or any variation of Tankie Ideology.
Revisionism — No downplaying or denying atrocities past and present. Calling Tankies shills, foreign/federal agents, or bots also falls under this rule. Extremists exist. They are real. Do not call them shills or fake users as it handwaves their extremism.
Tankies can explain their views but may be criticised or attacked for them. Any slight infraction on the rules above will immediately earn a warning and possibly a ban.
Off-topic Discussion — Do not discuss unrelated topics to the point of derailing the thread. Stay focused on the direct content of the post as opposed to arguing.
You'll be warned if you're violating the instance and community rules. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last 24 hours, but each subsequent infraction will double the amount. Depending on the content, the ban time may be increased. You may request an unban at any time.
On any of the donation threads where it came up and he replied to it, the most he ever did was some half hearted corporate PR "apology" (ironic)
Nope. But then again I didn't have to suffer the holocaust to say the Nazis are evil. We can and I would argue are morally required to have opinions on things that effect people other than ourselves. That's kinda one of the main outcomes of empathy.
But i am one of the people i was talking about
Gender dysphoria is terrible
I don't doubt that. I think as an adult u should have the right to do whatever the fuck you want with your own body.
I just don't think that children have the mental capacity and development to make such a decision. I've also read (yes peer reviewed papers) that hormone therapy has a statistically insignificant effect on suicide rates or depression for underage people. As such I see no additional risk in delaying any hormonal treatment until someone is an adult capable of making that decision themselves.
May I ask, did u receive hormonal treatment as a child? If so how did it effect you psychologically? If not are you an adult now and decided to undergo such treatment?
I don't put much value on qualitative data but would be interesting to hear nonetheless.
