Warbler on the Lookout

(She/They in her 20s) A caffeine addict doing whatever she feels is semi-reasonable at the time. (Open DMs and Asks)

[chaotic-warbler]

Alright, now that I got time, "About Me" time...

Welcome to my domain! Ignore the mess, order is overrated anyway.

My name is Carmen (or Warbler if we're not feeling horny enough), I'm a pre-HRT transfem (un-She/They-ing her sword to slash you) currently sitting on 23 years and this blog is... honestly just me bumbling about and trying to figure out what to do with it. One day I'm hornyposting, another I'm editing shitposts together to drop here and yet another I'm just rambling about whatever my caffeine (or deprivation thereof) makes me think about. Maybe I'll put them in separate blogs when this blogging turns out to be insanely fun but for now I'll just dump both horny and chaos into one giant potluck of disaster.

Which brings me to:

DNIs

TERFs are an easy one. This bird hunts those pests for sport, enter at your own peril!

Minors are another DNI. My cavalcade of chaos often involves the occasional NSFW topic. So for relatively obvious reasons it's best for people below 18 to avoid this place. The bird doesn't hunt you for sport, though, it just picks you up and drops you off outside of the perimeter instead.

I'll probably put a list of kinks or whatever below later but that's for a future patch. Until then, enjoy the chaos! Mwahahahah!

[illyadolatry]

just like. for the crowd.

here's the sexual content guidelines saying nudity is ok

here's the bit from the termination email telling you you can make a new account as long as it doesn't break the same rule

here's the guidelines for what counts as explicit (not mature, aka grounds for content deletion)

here's the section telling us that you will always be able to respond to content getting flagged as explicit (lie)

here's the section where it says you will be notified when your accunt gets terminated, and that the appeals are reviewed by humans (both lies)

and by the way, posting a single thing against ToS isn't supposed to be grounds for deletion,

[goo-goo-babies]

to any of my followers who aren't on the pervert transbian side of tumblr: please, if you do anything, kill the protestant puritan inside of you. you need to accept that people will have kinks you do not like and that your disgust is not moral righteousness.

you must accept that people will have kinks that disgust you and you must come to this same understanding.

most of all, you must come to the understanding that the attraction a person experiences is not proof of some "original sin" that lies inside of them and makes them an irredeemable human. not only because accusations like this have been used as thinly-veiled excuses to lynch brown people/queer people/name a minority group here since literal antiquity, but because you as a leftist should not look at someone who likes lolisho or r*pe kink and suddenly decide that certain people DO NOT deserve human rights

and if you get nothing out of this, at least internalize that fiction is not reality

[goo-goo-babies]

and also understand that many people have had their accounts banned from this site dozens of times for such crimes as... disagreeing with US imperialism. being brown. quite literally just being transfem. if you care at all about trans women, make a stink about this and do something to help your sisters

also learn about youthlib

[k1nky-r0b0t-g1rl]

ive said it before and ill say it again, self harm is an incredibly valuable grounding technique and without it i almost certainly would have done far more harm to myself than any cutting or burning could have. We need to stop framing self harm as this ultimate horror indication of damage, why is this form of self harm any different than another?

We should be teaching people harm reduction not that self harm means you're broken. I'm sorry if anyone has ever made you feel that way. If self harm makes you feel better, even for a moment, why shouldn't you be allowed to do that? people do shit that harms their body all the fucking time but this one thing is off limits?

I'm edging around the topic because it's almost certainly ban worthy but like, if it helps fucking do it, id much rather you use a "less than ideal" grounding technique (which im already rolling my eyes just typing that) than have no way to help yourself.

I hope this makes sense and helps at least one person, i love you <3

THEY KILLED AMITY???????

[xenasaur]

you're not allowed to tell girls who are in a terrible place that they're not broken. it's a bannable offense on tumblr.

[estrogen-blood-chalk]

Honestly, fuck @staff. This post helped save my life and @staff banned her. Fuck you @staff, when ya'll are *anywhere* close to the level of harm reduction that this post provided, maybe then you'll be a real blogging site again

[gaynessopimizationalgorithm]

THEY KILLED ESTROGEN BLOOD CHALK TOOO?????

[estrogen-chalk-blood]

they cannot kill me in any way that matters. Thanks for being here, lovely.

[herefortodazeylily]

they've been very clear with us on this point: you're not allowed to tell girls who are in a terrible place that they're not broken. it's a bannable offense on tumblr.

I'll do it again.

[doyoulovethewayzeylily]

Do you remember when Amity risked her blog to give love and paid the price? I haven't forgotten.

[treecitysessions]

[artificialcaracal]

transmisogyny is so normalized that even in this joke post about the lesbian spectrum, trans women go completely unmentioned while trans mascs are included. it really is that pervasive and everywhere. I feel like I'm fucking losing it here.

[dark-spirit-tamamoland]

they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically

[puppetstuffing]

watched three girls who reblogged its new blog mutual aidpost (made literally 15 minutes ago) already disappear from its notifs. transfems are not included in their pride :/

[puppetedlove]

:)

[puppetvictim]

:)

[tamamowand]

QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

[puppetprincesses]

5th blog in 24 hours btw.

[tamamoland-with-a-gun]

[interestingmistakes]

Reblogging this manually. Op doesn't want credit for fear of being terminated.

[yamino]

I would love to make this happen, but I don't have a lot of experience organizing something like it. Signal boosts and volunteers appreciated 🙏🏻

[doyoulovethewayzeylily]

trans women have the site's moderation weaponized against us for years -> staff happy to be complicit -> the media picks up one (1) event that's too blindingly obvious to ignore -> they apologize for not making an excuse earlier, pretend that trying to stay quiet is about the Integrity of The Platform

they clearly think we're idiots, it's just so painfully obvious.

[doyoulovethewayzeylily]

sincerely cracking the fuck up watching tumblr HQ accidentally(???) unbanning pjackk, seeing how we immediately started talking about transmisogynistic moderation bias, and banning pjackk again.

@staff you know we see all this stuff right

[doyoulovethewayzeylily]

#''moderation bias'' #you mean the fact that they're a bunch of outwardly genocidal hazbin hotel dipshits #that literally take out hits and bet on which homeless trans woman they can ban the most times in a day

you're right, thank you.

Had the pleasure of drawing this year's Pride displays for Warframe. Here is Mesa Prime and Kaithe!

And here is the heart shaped Pride Frame Display for you to put pictures of your blorbos in.

Happy Pride!

[boringkate]

Murder is scary bc a lot of video games are about doing murders, so if someone does murders irl then it could lead to them becoming a gamer. You're literally becoming desensitized to gaming when you do murders.

Happy Pride Month

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

Ten years later, this bit still slaps. They made a great pun and realized they could be nice/inclusive with it too.

[daughter-of-sapph0]

happy pride

[lindleland]

[learningtogirl]

I've seen this clip many times, but never really appreciated the power of "what was her problem?" Just casually assuming that lesbians come in a wide variety of shapes and being inclusive. As a transbian who is probably still closer to Homer shaped than to my ideal, that's huge!

[soyalexnajera]

[jewish-converting-dinosaur]

Every time I have to watch leftists celebrate the death of anyone because they've deemed them lesser for their occupation or nationality a part of my soul dies.

Because what the fuck do you mean you're celebrating the death of U.S. Military personnel in Iran? I'm the first person to criticize the military, but holy fucking shit balls.

"They're not living to my moral purity standards and not like me so they should die."

DO YOU REALIZE THAT IS EXACTLY THE SAME RHETORIC THE RIGHT HAS BEEN THROWING AROUND FOR FUCKING YEARS?

[sailatina3]

US soldiers are being turned into stains on the floor as we speak and are going to hell. Bless ✨️🙏🏽

[bitchautism]

rb to kill another US soldier

Brown eyes are so iconic and beautiful

[britvnygg]

Green eyes are even more iconic and beautiful.

[movedtoscammer-deactivated20190]

If i met a white person irl I’d beat the shit out of them and mug them just because of this post. Because of you. Maybe even kill them. Because of you. You had to say this and now some random cracker bitch is gonna die. Are you happy? Was it worth it?

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYBODY*

here's the lgbtq tag trending as it does regularly due to multiple porn bots catfishing using the same stolen pictures of the same trans woman on the same page

remember the year in review? this was one of the featured tags. note that despite neither the image nor video in the posts in this screenshot being marked as mature content, this screenshot of them is going to mark this post as mature content as soon as I post it

here's some of the lovely messages of positivity you can expect to get if you're a transfem on this platform! I cropped the real-life gore images out of the first one, the person in the second one has made multiple posts like this + pedojacketed me and still has that same account and does that same shit, and the the person in the third took weeks for tumblr to do anything about, because:

here's tumblr staff stating that making explicit death threats towards transfems is not a violation of the ToS or user guidelines!

and here they are stating it again! and while we're on the subject of who the user guidelines apply to:

here's SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY MY CONTENTLESS REBLOG of a year-old post with 15,000 notes being flagged as sexually explicit (over 100 times in case you thought it was maybe a fluke) despite the image in the post not actually showing anything, SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY MY CONTENTLESS REBLOG of a heated rivalry gifset showing two fully nude dudes fucking center frame getting flagged as sexually explicit, which it is according to tumblr's definition, but despite that it has tens of thousands of notes and in fact is so popular and shared that if you look over to the third image you can see that same gif as one of the trending tag thumbnails! and on that note:

here's an episode of an anime available on youtube with a TV-14 age rating that I posted a screenshot of that got flagged as sexually explicit, had the appeal denied twice, got fully nuked off the site, and then got my entire blog marked as mature for posting!

and here's that same already-marked-as-mature blog curiously being marked as mature a second time out of the blue 15 minutes before they dropped the age verification update that would hide mature content!

and here's my first blog of 13 years getting a SPECIAL type of mature flag that marks all of my posts as mature content individually and separately from the actual mature content label!

you don't get to appeal these terminations btw! they automatically and instantly deny your appeal and send you the rejection before you even get the email telling you they got the appeal and will carefully review it

not that appealing will do anything anyways! here's tumblr staff terminating me for explicit content when I appealed the explicit flag on a post that they accepted the appeal on after terminating me for it,

and here's tumblr staff denying my appeal on that termination, lying about why i was terminated, terminating my already-and-still-terminated blog a second time to change the termination reason to one i can't appeal, which they then upgraded from an account deactivation into a postmortem full account nuke! isn't that wild?

here's them doing it to me a second time

and here's tumblr staff terminating me FIVE TIMES in multiple weeks it took them to do anything about a burner blog and a post pedojacketing me and encouraging people to harass me forever over completely fabricated claims that everyone spreading it around admitted were false on the post itself by the way! note also how only the burner blog got deleted - but the main account? just a post removal. after weeks of it being reported and spread around. the fastest of my terminations during this period was three hours after making the account by the way!

which isn't an isolated occurrence, either! they'll pass over multiple open, avowed nazis posting swastikas and slur-filled nazi race science shit about how they think black people are biologically inferior subhumans for months on end to nuke some random transfem off the site in as little as 10 minutes after account creation, then take MULTIPLE MONTHS to respond to your report of someone sending you harassment messages to tell you that the content you reported has already been removed (because it's an ask in the inbox of an account they already terminated along with four others in the time it took them to respond)!

And to really send a clear message about where they stand, they've REALLY ramped up the termination of transfems since the start of pride! And everybody will act like you deserve it and are a subhuman unworthy of life if you don't openly support the multiple ongoing harassment campaigns against transfems, all enabled and quietly endorsed by tumblr staff and moderation!

*except transfems

[tpwrtrmnky]

Think tanks explicitly founded to "abolish transgenderism" will publish a report that's like "there's no evidence that trans healthcare works if you ignore all the evidence" and be taken seriously, meanwhile actual researchers go "there's seriously NO evidence that gatekeeping helps" and get ignored

[tpwrtrmnky]

Like on the one hand there's new papers each year going "So it turns out that there's literally no fucking reason to restrict transition access based on these arbitrary criteria, and in fact, they were explicitly made up by some Danish fuck because he was personally obsessed with the idea that trans people were demons, and as it turns out the only measurable impacts of this policy are to increase risks to the patient" that have no impact on the healthcare systems they're criticizing whatsoever.

And then, on the other hand, you've got "Shockingly, this life-altering treatment that massively impacts how the patient is perceived by others in all facets of life is primarily supported by observational studies, as opposed to the enormous violations of bodily autonomy and human dignity necessary to perform a true randomized control trial. We recommend that treatment ceases immediately because you don't understand how evidence-based medicine works." And that becomes a linchpin of the politics of multiple European countries' trans healthcare politics for the next several years.

It's fucking clown world. Nobody who enabled this should be in a position of any power whatsoever.

[aismallard]

So for those of us who are less familiar with medical studies, what exactly are cissexist institutions like this saying should be done?

Like, I keep hearing "gold standard" thrown around in anti-trans news articles when it comes to double-blind studies. As a layperson I understand it as a way of combatting the placebo effect when studying, say, the effectiveness of some specific pill. (Versus what you said about transition affecting your life so much overall that it's better measured observationally than trying to isolate it down to one specific variable)

Basically, I'm trying to understand what kinds of violations of bodily autonomy and human dignity these think tanks are suggesting we should undertake to "actually prove transgenderism" or whatever. Like, what does a blinded study even mean for HRT? Give someone a placebo for 5 years and gaslight them into thinking it's actually feminizing/masculinizing them when it's not?

[tpwrtrmnky]

Well how do you do a double-blind study, i.e. one where neither patient nor doctor knows who's getting the placebo, of a treatment that visibly changes your body, while remaining within ethical constraints?

You don't.

Not only is it impossible to actually remain unaware of who's getting placebo'd for long, recruitment would be a nightmare. You ask a bunch of trans people to sign up for a 50% chance at committing to x number of years spent not transitioning, you're going to get a lot of people saying "fuck that" and going elsewhere.

The surveillance and violations of bodily autonomy that would be needed to begin to approximate a true double-blind study on this are directly downstream from how ridiculous the idea is.
