hey can we be fucking honest with each other for a sec? the endless cyberstalking and sexual harassment that people on this website subject transfems to - building documents of information and networks of rumors and public harassment campaigns against trans women - is directly responsible for the kinds of suicides we're mourning today on trans day of remembrance -- this is not "discourse" this is not "infighting" this is real life or death shit

tumblr user Anonymous has been saying some very rude things to various bloggers for many years now

I hope you know that however long we go without having a conversation, you are still my friend and I love you

This post is for trans women.

why does tumblr look different every two weeks but none of the essential features get fixed or worked on. we've been asking for a way to search in our likes for ten years. there are still no functional group chats. blog search is still only showing half the posts with the searched word in it. you still cant block a person from interacting with your sideblogs and you still cant block someone completely if theyre using a sideblog. you cant even send an ask from a sideblog. oh but thank goddddd the buttons are two pixels closer now and the notes bubble looks uglier with every update i dont know what i wouldve done without rounded post edges

TME people will say that they love trans women and then harass, Isolate and deplatform the ones they don't like

Hey, in hopes this will reach some trans sisters, I want it to be known: This is not true.

It's rather common for transphobes, even ones that are trans themselves, to pretend to be trans-accepting online to ultimately cause harm to impressionable people, AKA trans people who are very vulnerable. You can find dozens of people admitting to this, particularly on already Nazi-fied sites like X.

They'll come off as very fiercely trans-accepting initially. And then they'll start to say things like this, framed in a 'woke' manner, about how trans healthcare is gross and mutilates your body.

I want to be very clear when I say that it does not. Bottom surgery has risks like any other medical procedure, but you will not see these people opposing heart surgery or chemotherapy. And voice training is, in of itself, completely safe. I promise.

You absolutely do not have to medically transition, that's right. But you can. And it won't make your body ugly. It won't be you betraying your community by conforming to cisgender society. You're not losing anything except your dick and balls.

Please make the right decision for you and nobody else. And, whether you want every affirming treatment you can find or none at all, block these people. It may seem like nothing, but that's exactly why they do it. Plausible deniability.

Don't get roped into the fearmongering.
