What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(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.

So its OK to force people to go into a bathroom that doesn't match their identity?
Moving the goalposts, 5-yard penalty.
Who's forcing anyone? There are bathrooms, they can use whichever they want. All bathrooms should be unisex anyway.
You clearly don't actually know anyone who's enby and just like inventing problems.
Should these unisex bathrooms have urinals?
Sure, and maybe bidets too, they seem nice.
Have u asked the average woman how they would feel about that? Walking into a room with 6 guys standing next to each other with their cocks out?
Have they ever asked the average guy? I don't want to see them with their cocks out, either. That's why I don't look at it. What you should be advocating is for more private stalls so people of all gender are more comfortable even with shared bathrooms.
Did you know that they invented these things called stalls commonly placed around individual facilities? There's no mandate that they look like the ballpark trough.
Yeah, the only places I commonly see, where the urinals do not have partitions that block the view of other people, in the bathrooms seems to be old places that refuse to get rid of their trough urinal, bars (though this often because they have bathrooms not meant for multiple people, and large bars/clubs have largely moved on), and arenas that have walls with dozens of them. The last one is likely being cheap.
Nobody ever complained about not having markers who can use which porta-john at a festival. Questions on other qualities of them are subject to individual tolerances.
