Tumblr actively hunts down and deletes legit trans womens blogs as a policy but encourages and cultivates porn bots that use stolen trans sex worker's content. This is propaganda and affects how we're viewed by other users, makes our own tags unusable for us, is unfathomably transmisogynistic, and reveals a lot about how staff views us. Our bodies are a commodity that they want on their website, but our words are not welcome.
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
Repost, now do your honors.
Trans people just existing is no more sexual than when cis people just exist.
Please don't forget about loveless people this pride month. Love doesn't make us human. People don't need to love in "other" ways to be valid. Some people are aplatonic, some afamilial, some asensual, some are heartless. They still belong. Abolish conformity and the idea that someone needs to be something specific to belong at pride.
A word about scanlation
I scanlate a lot of manga and doujinshi and am part of a couple of larger scanlation groups (I'm not really active in them rn though).
The scope of fandom has changed so much over recent years that I'm not sure some people are aware that, for the most part, scanlation (and translation in general) is a labor of love. It's unpaid volunteer work and often actually costs money because you have to buy the raw materials and maybe even software to do the typesetting/cleaning/etc in. I actually pay unaffiliated freelance translators to translate certain materials I desperately want to read but can't find a translator to collab with for whatever reason.
All of this is to say that you aren't supposed to be making money off of scanlation. Scanlation is technically illegal because it involves the unauthorized reprinting of copyrighted work, but many companies are willing to turn a blind eye to it because it lets them gauge interest about official translations. Scanlator etiquette does make allowances for donations towards raw materials like manga, artbooks, etc though (which is more than fair imo).
Anyway, I bring all this up because I've been noticing a trend of new scanlators wanting to monetize their work. This is EXTREMELY frowned upon in most circles but is becoming more and more widespread. In one of my scanlation groups, we had someone who asked "how much the role pays," and when they were informed it was a volunteer position they left in a huff.
There are entire scanlation groups now that lock their catalogs behind paywalls and threaten legal action against anyone who reuploads their work. Even though, you know, they're reuploading other people's work and are usually pumping out chapters so fast there's not a whole lot of quality control.
Also, reader entitlement towards scanlators is as old as scanlating itself, but I've seen an uptick of assholes who yell at people volunteering their labor because they aren't doing it fast or well enough. The vast majority of these entitled assholes have no fucking idea how to translate, or how to typeset, or how to scan/acquire raw materials, or how to clean/redraw scans, etc. They just feel entitled to other people's time and labor and instead of being grateful they get anything at all, they bitch about how it's not perfect.
I've been scanlating for a decade now and I only do it because I love it so much. I've sunk countless hours and a ton of money into it. And I really don't like how people are trying to capitalize off of it. It just feels like everyone is trying to monetize everything nowadays.
You don't need to make money off of your hobby!!! You can just do it because you love doing it and you love being part of a community!!!
Anyway, be nice to scanlators, y'all.
Well, have you?
Reblogging this manually. Op doesn't want credit for fear of being terminated.
awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
that’s not the whole flag, now is it
hey staff what the fuck
hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose
HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE
I’m so tired of the “why do people hate aspecs, they aren’t doing anything?” argument. I know that it is an attempt to support us, but it fails so spectacularly to understand aromanticism, asexuality, and any other aspec identity that it’s actively frustrating.
We are doing something. We’re rejecting allonormative ideals and that’s a massive thing to do. We’re actively fighting not just to help other aspecs, but to help everyone, because amatonormativity (and allonormativity as a whole) hurt everyone. Single people who want to find a partner but can’t also deserve to be able to exist.
There are so many issues with the expectation of marriage, including:
A single income isn't enough to get by anymore
Having a spouse is almost necessary under the current medical system
Society shames and pressures people who are single to get into relationships constantly
Rejecting allonormativity means fighting against these things that hurt everyone.
So, no, aces and aros and other aspecs aren't "doing nothing." We're doing quite a lot.

Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr's terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site's culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?
Remember that staff is continuing to nuke the blogs of trans women even after all of this. Remember this post when they call this site the queerest place on the internet again this month
It's 2 years later. It's gotten worse. Happy pride month.
recovered one of the first drawings id ever made of them for a quick warmup before locking back in for classwork
havent been feeling the greatest drawing-wise as of late honestly but going through older doodles does make me feel a bit more reassured somewhat... it isnt really by much but i guess i can say i improved a little bit kjdshgdhgd
For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.
Happy pride month to her and her exclusively
she made a comic about the experience on twitter
happy pride
An Update from back in October I'm surprised wasn't added to this post. lol
You're a doctor. You've been taught the phrase "first, do no harm."
A patient comes in with a flesh eating bacteria that is rapidly spreading up their leg. The only way to save their life is to remove their leg.
So what do you do? To help the patient is to accept that you must also harm them.
You're a good doctor. Of course you remove the leg and save the patient's life, because trying to exercise a choice that will result in no harm is impossible where there are only two bad outcomes, but one is unquestionably worse.
This post is for for leftists in the US who still think either not voting or going with a protest vote in the next two major election cycles is an acceptable choice, when you know full well the Republican will cause more harm.

Happy pride! If you’re looking for aspec stories, I could recommend you my RPG Maker games.
-Friendship Test: A long story-focused game that explores different aspec identities (aromanticism, aplatonicism, lovelessness…). Lots of aspecs have seen themselves on this game, maybe you’re next. Jokes aside, it’s a passion project that means a lot to me and it’s completely free for you to enjoy!
-Exe tries to save the holidays: A short follow-up to Friendship Test! While the main focus is not on aspec themes, we do have an aspec protagonist whose identity is important for her character. The game only costs 1,30$!
-Estranged Family: A spin-off to Friendship Test which is currently on development, but there is a 2 hour long demo available! I continue to explore more aspec themes here, maybe you’ll like this one too!
-Obsolete Friends: A short semi-horror game, unrelated to the Friendship Test series. Aspec themes are not the main focus, but there are aspec characters that are important to the story. It’s my newest game and it costs 2$!
You can find all my games on itch.io! Or you can watch full playthrough on the official channels for each game. Sorry I can't link anything cause Tumblr always makes sure my posts don't show up on the tags when I include links. But you can find everything on the blogs @friendship-test and @obsolete-friends ! Either way, thanks for reading!
