they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically
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 :/
QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it
It wouldn't surprise me if this all came down to just one manager who's a transphobe and everyone else just cowardly following along because they like having an income
instead of "manager" try CEO. matt mullenweg had been openly participating in a harassment campaign against a transfem user and after terminating her tumblr, even chased her over to twitter to harass her a bit more there. that was 2 years ago.
since then mass termination and nuking* of transfems' blogs have picked up a lot, and haven't ever stopped. every week there is a mass-banwave, usually hitting transfems for being victims of mass harassment campaigns. some transfems get terminated even more frequently, like every few days to even down to every few hours on some days. the blogs up there in the reblog chain from puppet were all made and terminated within hours of each other.
the transmisogyny comes from the top down AND from the userbase
*nuking here refers to the "higher tier" of termination that retroactively deletes all images and reblogs from that blog off of other people's accounts. amd this one cannot be appealed either
