completely nuking like a dozen trans women’s accounts after tumblr user predstrogen got banned so hard every single image she ever posted got deleted (which isn’t how tumblr bans work), and claiming the og ban was because of threats towards him. the one threat he could point to was this
he said tumblr would work with the fbi to investigate this shit
link to his statement. he originally misgendered her, then corrected himself to degender her, then finally used corrected himself to use her actual pronouns
It’s weird how Tumblr is always portrayed online as this super SJW, militantly pro-trans website. I practically grew up posting there and ran into a TON of weird reactionary communities (school shooter fan fic writers, proto-trad wives, pedo and rape apologists, eugenicists, ´ironic’ nazis). I didn’t know about terfs until I came across their Tumblr accounts.
there’s a fairly strong community of communists and trans people on tumblr but like any other website that isn’t explicitly designed as a space for trans people and communists there’s plenty of reactionary horseshit as well
