I'm going to be real I don't have any doubts that there are trans people on the tumblr/auttomatic staff who sincerely want to improve circumstances for trans users on this site but I'm really not going to care about apologetic gestures until there is material improvement. I won't trust vague assurances of improving anti-harassment measures until I see it. It's not like any of these patterns of abusive moderation against the most vulnerable demographics is new.

#Sorry I understand corpo speak too and the comments on that post are VERY generous in their interpretation of it lol #They would probably have to say something either way given the scale of this particular wave of outrage and AGAIN I fully believe #there's sincerity involved and it IS very unusual to so transparently condemn a CEOs behavior but #Yeah this is crisis management bottom line and I'll believe in management as a whole's commitment to ideals when I see it #Also the lack of acknowledgment that this particular wave is disproportionately affecting transfem users is at least a little weird #And again there's such a long fucking history of this #I don't remember a statement like this being made after the outcry about the Ferguson tag being blocked and waves of black users being #banned for no reason (or because they were labeled as part of a 'Russian disinformation campaign' with zero evidence)
