Exhibit A: A Post In Which Someone Repeatedly And Explicitly Misgenders Trans Women, Fearmongers About

Tumblr is still actively endorsing transphobia on this website. Reblog the fuck out of this.

Tumblr got back to me about a report for once... Just to tell me that the blatant transphobia I reported "does not violate community guidelines."

These are the posts which Tumblr staff decided should be kept on the platform, with screenshots.

Also, I apologize in advance for censoring the usernames of the transphobes in the screenshots. Tumblr does absolutely nothing to protect its trans users, so I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up getting in trouble instead, just for including their usernames. I will mention, however, that every transphobe had transphobic dogwhistles in their usernames and/or bio. Transphobes are not difficult to spot. Staff are just apathetic at best, and actively transphobic at worst.

Exhibit A: A post in which someone repeatedly and explicitly misgenders trans women, fearmongers about "trans ideology," uses transphobic dogwhistles, and denies the existence of transmisogyny. This isn't even the full post; it was an incredibly long transphobic tangent. The comments were full of transphobes as well. None of them were banned. Tumblr staff think this is okay.

A screenshot of a transphobic post. The post says:

Hot Take #5

I understand radfems' insistence on emphasizing female suffering when it comes to talking about trans ideology. It IS important to talk about, because by trying to act like sex is something inconsequential, it ignores the very real suffering many people have faced on the basis of their sex.

BUT even if sex-based oppression didn't exist, trans women would still not be women. Even if adult human females weren't oppressed, trans women would still not be adult human females. It's just a fact.

I feel the need to bring this up because I often see TW responding to radfems being like "well trans women are catcalled and stalked by men sometimes". Like that sucks, but they still aren't women. But also, the thing about it is that when men do that kind of stuff to trans women, it is frequently toward trans women that pass. In these cases, I think it's safe to say that the perpetrator either thought they were a cis woman (with a vagina and all that stuff) or they can tell the TW is a biological male and it's motivated by homophobia. What people call "transmisogyny" is really just homophobia 99% of the time.

Exhibit B: A post in which someone delights in the idea of a trans person hurting themselves by "ripping at their surgery scars," with additional ableist undertones. Not a hypothetical trans person either; a real individual trans person. She was not banned.

A screenshot of a transphobic post. The post begins with an ask from a transgender person, which says "I'm taking so many hormones and getting so many surgeries I hope you're angwy ^_^"

The transphobe responded, "hmu when you get alzheimer's and forget you're trans and start ripping at the surgery scars :3 teehee"

Exhibit C: A post in which a self-proclaimed TERF refers to consensual gender affirming surgeries as "forced surgeries" and frames trans people as "Nazis and fascists" just for trying to become comfortable in our own bodies. She did this in direct response to trans people celebrating their own surgeries. She was not banned.

A screenshot of a post from a TERF, who reblogged a post from a trans person.

In the original post, an anonymous user sent an ask to a fellow trans person, saying "i hope these transphobes fuck off and also *gets top surgery*"

The trans person they sent the ask to said "YAY anon are you getting top surgery ???"

The TERF reblogged, saying "Transgender humour about forced surgeries: Not fascism or nazism. Normal humans want children to wait before accessing surgery and hormones: Literal nazis and fascists."

She included the tags #anon, #radical feminism, #feminism #radblr, #transgender, #radfem, #radical, #radical feminist safe, #terf, #terfblr, and #terfism.

Exhibit D: A post in which someone says "transgenderism is erasing women" and blames the existence of misgendering and degendering on trans people, as if we aren't also hurt by those things frequently. She also said that trans women are "not women" in comments on her own post. She was not banned.

A screenshot of a post from a transphobe. She starts the post with a screenshot from someone else on Reddit. The Redditor is a cisgender woman in her 40s, and she was ranting about her experience being misgendered and degendered due to her androgyny. Note that this started when she was a child and was called "it," which recently changed into her being called "they" instead. She says that she is supportive of trans people, but also feels like "they" has become a subtle way to misgender people who are gender nonconforming and don't use they/them pronouns. This is something transgender people also frequently point out.

The transphobe who shared the screenshot of the Reddit post said, "[People say] 'Transgenderism isn't hurting anyone' [but] it is. It's is erasing women."

Exhibit E: A post in which someone engages in a blatant form of Holocaust denial, by saying trans transgender and queer people "were not targeted" (while simultaneously casting doubt on the validity of those identities themselves by putting them in scare quotes). Trans persecution and book burnings are a well documented aspect of the Holocaust. This post was also reblogged by other transphobes. None of them were banned.

A screenshot of a post from a transphobe. The post says, "A gentle reminder for those trying to rewrite history, lot's of that going around on social media lately, but the Nazi's did NOT target 'Transgender' or 'Queer' people. They specifically targeted homosexuals point blank period. Heinz Heger has a phenomenal book about it."

Below the text is the cover of Heinz Heger's book, "The Men With The Pink Triangle."

@staff care to explain why you think these posts are okay? Would you like to tell us how and why these "don't violate community guidelines"? Did you learn nothing from the lawsuit that happened because of transphobia among staff? After everything that has happened, why is there still nothing being done about the rampant transphobia on this website?

Just curious.

Also, in case I get banned or this post gets deleted, here's an archived version of my post. Keep it tucked away somewhere.

<3 trans lgbtq lgbt transgender transphobia this is ridiculous i cant believe they can’t be assed to ban such obvious hate and threats

In a monumental discovery for paleontology and the first of its kind "Mummy of a juvenile sabre-toothed cat Homotherium latidens from the Upper Pleistocene of Siberia"

Abstract The frozen mummy of the large felid cub was found in the Upper Pleistocene permafrost on the Badyarikha River (Indigirka River basin) in the northeast of Yakutia, Russia. The study of the specimen appearance showed its significant differences from a modern lion cub of similar age (three weeks) in the unusual shape of the muzzle with a large mouth opening and small ears, the very massive neck region, the elongated forelimbs, and the dark coat color. Tomographic analysis of the mummy skull revealed the features characteristic of Machairodontinae and of the genus Homotherium. For the first time in the history of paleontology, the appearance of an extinct mammal that has no analogues in the modern fauna has been studied.

front page of a zine called 'Tips for defying the end of the world (from people who were right before)'. there's doodles of speech bubbles and lightning bolts

In 2000 (when I was 8), I heard about 2012. [caps lock with lightning bolts around it] THE END OF THE WORLD. [end caps lock]. I curled up by the radiator and I sobbed. What was the point? why go to school if I was gonna die at 20 anyway? But my mum came in and said, [text in a speech bubble next to a picture of me in the corner, curled up by the radiator.], "But what if the world doesn't end? What if you live? Then, if you quit now, you'll have to catch up". [end speech bubble.] And I persisted. And I didn't die.

And when I was real depressed one time, I told my doctor how overwhelming it felt to try to fix all the world's problems when I'm just one person. Activist burnout. And he said, [text in a speech bubble next to a picture of my doctor speaking to me], You ARE just one person. So you can't fix it all. But you can pick small things in your small radius, and start working on the small wins instead. [end speech bubble]. And he was right. I've done so much more with less stress since then.

And now, I look after some folk who are younger than me. They also fear the future. They fear politicians, and they fear hatred, and they fear climate change. They're burnt out.
But what if it works out? What if small changes today make tomorrow better?
Hope is a tool. Hope is a weapon. Hope is a plant we must nurture.
[There's a plant drawn dividing the page]

Even if things go wrong, we can at least say we tried. But we hope for more. Because if we can picture it, we can work towards it.
