sorry but something needs to be said about this group of racist white european trans women being seen as some pillars to the trans community here on tumblr. plaidos, isff, eradicate-tmes-now, etc, that whole cohort is extremely openly racist and everyone who nods their heads and agrees w/ them because they're trans women is complicit in racism.

the trans community, just like many other communities, is often built on the backs of POC! allowing these white women into our spaces to openly shit on POC is detrimental and needs to be called out.

like this is the same group that called Tumblr bans LYNCHING. it's not caring about trans women to put these white trans women on pedestals, because often, you're shooting down every trans woman of color who speaks up against these absolutely evil racist people because the only good trans person is someone who agrees with you and your idolized European white trans women, right?

i've literally watched so many trans women of color be silenced, told they don't count, accused of not even being trans women at all (take these as you will, i don't have any screenshots to go back on so whether you believe me or not is your own choice. i have no desire to "provide proof" because my point still stands with or without this fact) and supposedly it's Transfeminism to support people like this? and it's transmisogyny to be sick and fucking tired of white people overstepping, being OPENLY FUCKING RACIST, and then getting a big round of applause every time they post anything like a bunch of idiotic seals in the stands?

saying what every poc has been shouting from the rooftops since forever, if you're not ACTIVELY ANTI-RACIST, you are participating and complicit in racism. and being actively anti-racist includes calling these people out, not allowing this type of shit to fly, and CERTAINLY not allowing it to happen fifty fucking times over while the trans POC on Tumblr are supposed to watch as our traumas and generations of fucking suffering are put into the ground by people who have never experienced racism, but LOVE to use our terms for our oppression and the violent hate crimes against us to support their own points about losing their fucking Tumblr blogs.

I'm really disappointed by all this. ISFF goes after every racial minority and then, when we get upset, we're her stalkers and harassers. it's literally weaponized white woman tears, and you're all falling for it. you're all letting it happen.

do better, not just for yourselves, but for the trans POC you claim to support.

If Lily's seemed more "mask-off", as of late...

It's not just you.

If you’ve been watching the peripheral players in this ecosystem, the pattern is becoming impossible to ignore. We are currently seeing a surge in bad actors on Tumblr who engage in ban-evasion or predatory behavior, only to immediately cry "transmisogyny" the second they are called out.

Let’s be extremely clear about the distinction: There is an undeniable, systemic problem with transphobes automatically painting trans women as predatory. That is a real issue.

However, there are also people on this platform who are openly into children, and the second you point out their behavior, they hide behind their identity. They are deliberately trying to conflate these two separate issues to create a "get out of jail free" card.

Lily has used this "Identity-Shield" excuse for years to dismiss valid criticism of her abuse. But now that others are co-opting the same playbook, she feels more enabled than ever to drop the act.

The Logic is Simple:

Being a trans woman does not make you a predator.

But being a predator makes you a predator.

Anyone is capable of doing wrong regardless of how they identify, and using your transness to deflect from accusations of child endangerment is, in itself, a deep disservice to the trans community.

Stop using your identity to mask your behavior.

Stop diddling kids.

Way too many people on this fuckin site are the "progressive" equivalent to the stereotypical religious conservative family that protects the known family molester.

So following Lily’s train of logic here, that means she would also think America was validated with its anti-Japanese stance during WW2 (you know, when we shoved whole families into internment camps), as well as its anti-Islamic rhetoric after 9/11.

Yeah, no.

That was racist and intolerant then, and it’s racist and intolerant now.

Just because some country’s government is fucked, or some assholes share a religion with others, doesn’t mean you suddenly get a free pass to be racist—and if you do, chances are you’re just using current events as an excuse to vent prejudices you’ve always had.

This is racist and stupid and Lily is fucking racist and stupid.

Wow the people who were against MDNI (minors do not interact) on people blogs cause they consider it oppression, argue that grooming doesn’t happen online, say parental controls are abusive, have blogs dedicated to talking about wanting to rape their imaginary little sisters or pretending to be little girls, said you should be proud to be friends with pedophiles and pedos are marginalized like the T in lgbt, pedos don’t need help or fixed and should be accepted for who they are, argue parents are worst then pedophiles and parents “own and oppress kids and treat them like property” cause you don’t let them be near pedos, argue pedophilia/zoophilia ≠ child abuse/animal abuse, had followers and supporters who actually argued for irl incest and found to have purchased a necklace with one of the pedophile symbol of “girl love” and purchase flags with the zoophile symbol, support and defend people like lily orchard/cd-call and Patricia taxxon who actually confirmed to have done things, say people who made “mistakes” (abused) in the past should be given a chance and a community-are now making posts trying to groom minors.

This is so surprising.
