I'm done with this shit. I'm leaving Tumblr
It's been three years since i joined. i remember making this blog so I could express myself as a mspec lesboy after hiding my identity elsewhere. I wanted to spread information and positivity about the queer community as a whole. Since then, I have been pleasantly surprised to see more and more people become accepting towards contradictory identities, but on the other hand, things have gotten, like, exponentially worse for trans men and mascs since I joined.
Every other day, there's another viral post about how transmascs are all ontologically evil and/or whiney little girls theyfabs with blue hair and pronouns. Whenever we speak out about our experiences, we are gaslit, mocked, and threatened into silence, and also branded as bigots just for trying to talk about our issues. You could make the most benign post about issues transmascs face and some people will take it the wrong way and say that you're a "Hitlerite."
The hatred towards transmascs on this site has gotten so awful that cis people can accuse transmascs of being violent misogynists, secret TERFs, and rapists, and people will not only reblog this uncritically but clap like seals when cis people butt into trans conversations. It's gotten to the point where people are just straight up saying that "trans men have male privilege over cis women." And again, people reblog and outright praise this shit.
It would be one thing if the hate posts were just made by a couple of nobodies and got 0 notes. But transmasc hatred is spouted by super popular blogs, from Dungeon Meshi and/or Deltarune fandom blogs, to aesthetic blogs with Snoopy plush pfps, to shitpost funnyman blogs. NEVER ask a popular Tumblr user what they think about transmascs. And their posts get up to 13k notes.
I'm sick of this shit. You are not helping trans women by bashing trans men. I just can't do this anymore. I am leaving Tumblr and not returning for a long time, this site has been awful for my self-esteem. I don't want transandrophobes to win, I am just protecting my peace. Unless this site learns to stop being shitty to trans men just for existing, I'm not coming back.
I just want to say thank you to all my lovely followers and mutuals, you are all awesome, and thank you to everyone who supports the ENTIRE queer community and stands up for trans men. You are doing great work. Please keep fighting the good fight, and if it ever gets too much (like when you screenshot transandrophobic posts), it's okay to step away.
Until we meet again
