quitting tumblr, never coming back, peace and love to all queer people everywhere

leaving because i'm tired of watching the discourse shift from one minority group to the next

insanely funny that they put anti-piracy ads on actual legit dvds back in the day. "hey you, person who presumably bought this dvd the legal way and doesn't pirate. here's an annoying ad we're going to make you watch. by the way did you know there's a way to download and watch this shit for free? well you do now. please don't use it. bye bye". i can't believe it didn't work out for them

"we need a slur for-" Why are you trying to roleplay being racist and ableist

Hi I want to go over a few key points from this response I got from tumblr.

it is worth noting that this is not a reply to my appeal, or if it is, it is not framed as such, instead it is “regarding” my “inquiry to tumblr” as if I had asked a question

it says my blog has been “suspended” rather than the language used in the initial email which told me it was “terminated”. A suspension implies a length of time, and that it may be reinstated. This is in direct contradiction to the language of “termination” previously used.

Regarding the accusations of sexually explicit material: I have never posted video or photos of myself engaged in a sexual act. I have posted nudity within the boundaries of the user guidelines (never focusing on genital stimulation, or genitals in a sexual context). I have occasionally written texts posts of a sexual nature. These have been few and far between far between and have never been flagged by tumblr or brought to my attention as problematic. Indeed tumblr has a long tradition of erotic fanfic etc on the site that could be called “art” in the same way these texts posts of mine could be called artistic due to their literary nature.

Tumblr is admitting that not only do staff READ YOUR PRIVATE MESSAGES but they also ACTIVELY MONITOR THEM for content they disapprove of between adults. With that said, I have very rarely engaged in sexual messaging on here.

I have never submitted sexual content to someone else’s blog.

I fully intend to go forward with the lawsuit on the grounds of discriminatory enforcement of policy (which they’ve already lost a case about trans women to at the New York human rights commission), as well as not abiding by their own rules and policies in general, enforcing them arbitrarily and without grounds, including the mislabeling of medical information as sexually explicit. My lawsuit will be a small personal one via either a human rights commission or a small claims court. While my goal will be to win, and after talking to a lawyer I firmly believe I can, I will also be satisfied in costing this company as much as I personally can in legal fees regardless of outcome. I encourage someone with more resources than myself to launch a class action lawsuit against tumblr. I will happily sign on to that lawsuit and work to the fullest extent possible with the team.

Should tumblr desire to prevent my lawsuit they are free to reinstate my blog and restore my content. If not, I presume this is their final word on the matter and will serve them sometime early in the new year.

Thankfully as a Canadian I have much stronger trans rights protections than my new york counterparts did so this should be an easy win, especially since civil courts do not operate “beyond a reasonable doubt” but instead have a much lower burden of proof.

laptop, in my lap –w–

[kalgalen]

don't get me wrong i love "always knew i wasn't a boy/girl" narratives but how about we start writing about "knew about trans people but couldn't imagine being one because Surely I'm not special that way and instead just kinda bad at being a boy/girl"

[autumnvleaves]

"Nobody finds it difficult to-" I assure you there's at least one disability that exists that make that particular task difficult.

[evil-enby-osoka]

sometimes "but you don't look disabled" is not even about the visibility of your disability. sometimes it's about "you look like an actual person and i picture disabled people as some weird creatures that i can never ever meet and now my reality is crashed by the fact that i see an actual disabled person and they look like a person."
