#tumblr transphobia

[sop-soap]

Hey staff, this is a post that does not break the TOS or come close in any way. This post doesn’t say any swear words or have any threats or any sexual content. This post is just here to say that the way you’re treating your users, especially transfem users, is wrong, and deleting every blog that calls you out for it is a blatant and poorly-done attempt at covering up your bigotry. If my account gets nuked for just making this post, you are confirming that you either are silencing people just for disagreeing with you, or you find transfem people to be an inherently sexual and inappropriate topic. Both of these reasons are extremely hypocritical for the site that claims to be queer friendly, and one of the queerest places in the internet. PLEASE stop deleting blogs for no good reason

There are predators on here who actively groom minors and black trans people have been harassed by people and by staff and kicked off of Tumblr by staff for YEARS btw

[worldsbestvideogames]

So, tumblr deactivated my account for some reason, and I've finally only just now seen that they've restored it.

So, since it happened to me too, I'll use this opportunity to demand that tumblr STOP DEACTIVATING TRANS PEOPLE'S ACCOUNTS FOR NO REASON.

[felicia-trinity]

like, what if, instead of targeting and deleting trans blogs, tumblr targeted and deleted spam blogs???

welcome to tumblr, the website where pedophiles and animal rapists are allowed to openly and proudly groom children but How Dare a Trans Girl Say Anything

The boops were nice,

With more than 9.7k boops given ("BOO") and more than 2.5k boops received ("OMG") as of typing this, I'm turning in for the night. It was nice to experience the thrill of waging boop-war again.

Now fix your bigotry.

An egomaniac at the helm of your social media company will lead to nothing but bad things. I sincerely hope that Automatic will realize this and respond accordingly before Matt screws up and/or burns Tumblr to the ground.

so i know that there will be staff at Tumblr HQ who will be like "oh but I'M not transphobic and i support these bloggers who are being terminated"

and i hate to be the one to break it to you but if you have the power to reinstate any of these blogs and you choose not to you may not be a transphobe yourself but you've decided that you're okay with not doing anything about it.

basically the only people i don't hold in utter contempt at the Tumblr HQ are the janitors. your site is institutionally transphobic and you still have the gall to market yourself as the queerest place on the internet, despite the massive asterisk that the CEO of Automattic will fucking follow you to Twitter to continue his harassment campaign if you're trans

i've seen so many dead blogs cross my dash. terminated for nothing.

i hope the next discrimination lawsuit hits you so hard the site collapses and dies. i hope Matt Mullenweg ends up bankrupt. i hope the poverty he finds himself in finally becomes too much for him to handle.

So in light of Tumblr Transphobia and the CEO's nonsense, here's a pastebin of Pillowfort links for anyone who wants to try it as an alternative.

Find them all here, there are fifty total. And, here is a link to another post on my blog that has another pastebin of 50 links with some basic information about Pillowfort itself.

And, here is a post on my blog with some information about another Tumblr alternative in Neocities during their core product strategy arc.

Hey @staff ! What's up with labeling a self-portrait of myself safely injecting a prescribed medication as "drug and alcohol addiction"?

[id in alt text]

How much do y'all wanna bet that some transphobe reported it because they believe all trans men are depressed little girls addicted to testosterone 🙄

[kaleidoscope-2]

I want to cry, what the hell is any of this asinine bullshit?

Usually I try to stay rational but not now, not when this ludicrous leap of logic is running rampant. I left twitter because of transphobia out of nowhere running rampant on my timeline but I refuse to leave here, mostly because there's nowhere else to go...

As a trans person myself I hope all the people responsible face justice, experience karma for these blatant hate crimes, I hope they burn.

If this post gets me banned then they're only adding fuel to the fire, and if they keep going they'll end up right back where they were before

A nothing site, dead because of hellish management making foolhardy decisions

So I'll leave it like this if I am given the hammer:

Go to hell, Matt, you won't be missed

[charyou-tree]

This fucking sucks. I just got here from Reddit a few months ago, and now tumblr management is making staying here untenable.

Where to next?

Ideally somewhere that isn’t ruined by vulture capital firms, so either open source or outside.

[fandom-hoarder]

When blazed posts present to you like a featured "person to block"

[im-ps2]

Classic tumblr transphobia strikes once again. This is either incredible timing, or incredibly telling.

[slimesaurian]

i really really hate how much my social circle is shrinking because the transphobia makes everyone migrate and scatter all over the internet

i miss the friends i made and the connections ive lost because we're never able to feel comfortable expressing ourselves lest we get banned.

[nothing-an-iratze-cant-fix]

Just had the badges/support pop up appear so I thought I’d take this opportunity to let @staff and @humans know that I won’t be giving you a penny until you stop censoring posts simply because they are about trans people and trans issues and definitely not until you stop nuking trans accounts for speaking out (or sometimes just existing). It’s disgusting and goes against the very core of your messaging and brand. Sort it out.

[thinksnake]

i guess i'm glad i'm not tumblr famous enough to get banned for being a trans woman?

though if this is the thing that gets me
