Need a holiday gift? It costs 0$ to Reblog a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale.

I sell pins, stickers, compression gloves, artist gloves, binders, hip braces, wrist braces, compression socks, compression leggings & more!
Store details below!

You gonna do anything or make any statement about the rampant transmisogyny on this hellsite, especially in cases like predstrogen recently? Or yall gonna stay silent and keep letting/making us get pushed off of it.
I have a number of asks about this, so this is to address all of them, I won't do each individually.
We generally do not comment on individual cases, but because there seems to be mass misinformation around this, I will make an exception and comment on predstrogen.
First, Tumblr has a number of LGBT+ including trans people on staff, and they see things from the inside fully, and they're not protesting this case.
Why do we wrongly have a transphobe reputation? We did have an external contract moderator last year that was making transphobic moderation (and also selling moderation, criminally). As soon as we were aware that person was fired, and we later terminated the entire relationship with that contracting firm and have brought almost everything in-house (at great cost). I have previously commented on this publicly, several times.
I am not aware of any Automattician (people who work at Automattic and Tumblr) who has made any transphobic moderation actions. If it's reported it is investigated immediately, if anything were found that person would be terminated for cause immediately.
In predstrogen's case in addition to some mistagged sexually explicit posts, which on its own wouldn't be that bad, we have documented cases of harassment. Most importantly, and why they are banned from Tumblr for life, is they made threats of violence against Tumblr staff.
That is never okay. Threats of violence is not protected speech. We will work with police and FBI where appropriate. I just got a death threat yesterday from someone mad about predstrogen, and that account was immediately terminated.
So regardless of whether you still think Tumblr staff is somehow a bunch of transphobes, know that threats of violence or death are still not acceptable and will result in immediate and serious action. Know that when you rile people up, they can do dumb things with possibly permanent consequences.
WE NEED MORE DEAF AND HOH REPRESENTATION IN MEDIA!!!! as a person who is hoh (almost totally on my left ear, like 50% on my right ear) and uses hearing aids in everyday life, i like NEVER see any characters in tv shows who are deaf/hoh!!!!!!! IT MAKES ME SO MAD AAAAAA because like, it kinda feels like tv and stuff only remembers we exist when it's convenient or they need a character trait to give to someone with no personality, and even that basically never happens. name one deaf or hoh character. yeah.
so please please PLEASE make deaf or hoh ocs!!! headcanon your favs!!! if you make original content, add a deaf/hoh character without making it their entire personality!!! it would literally make my day to see someone acknowledge the existence of deaf/hoh people like me. i don't usually ask for interactions, but i really need some confirmation from hearing people. reblog if you aren't deaf/hoh but support hoh pride and the commuity <3
- a hoh teenager
I hope to be this kind of sibling when I'm older š„¹
PLEASE STAY AWARE! I am anti-zoophile so I do not want any zoophiles following me.
warning for therians and alterhumans:
I've made a post like this some months back but it the topic is yet again resurfacing. If you see a forum website called "therian underground" DO NOT JOIN. The forum website is run and founded by proud zoophiles. I recommend to not interact with this forum website or anyone who is apart of it. Stay safe!
Okay so I've been getting into Madoka Magica as of late and I fucking hate Kyuubey with a passion.
I know, the whole fandom does.
But, as a neurodivergent person, there's something so viscerally rage-inducing about the fact Kyuubey manipulates the girls into making wishes only to tell them all the bad stuff that comes with it later on. Sort of like the fine print in letters and stuff. Maybe it's because I feel I'm easy to manipulate because I don't understand social cues or when to ask questions so Kyuubey would end up tricking me too. It's just AAAAAaaaaaAAAaaaaaa š š š š
I don't like Kyuubey, I mean sure it's cute but I hate it.
(tw : brief mention of faking mental health issues)
I think it's valid.
There are many people who can't access an official diagnosis of their mental disabilities for various reasons such as, poverty, being part of another marginalised group (women/poc etc), being a minor with unsupportive or unwilling parents and the list goes on. Some people simply don't want to and I get why. An official diagnosis can limit you in many ways such as travel, healthcare, education etc. An official diagnosis can also make you more prone to ableism from the government, schools and workplaces.
Either way, self diagnosis is extremely important whether you choose to pursue an official diagnosis or not.
(Side note : I don't think it matters in the grand scheme of things if someone fakes a mental disorder for attention. Of course, it is disrespectful and you shouldn't do it but people with mental disorders barely get support anyway so what would they exactly be taking away from us? Stim toys? The only thing I can think of is therapists but there aren't many that specialise in disability so 𤷠I think the only time it could be considered a bad thing is if they're spread harmful misinformation like if you're gonna fake something, at least make it believable. To be honest, I feel bad for those who fake a disorder / disability because they might be so attention starved that they would do that.)
Safe space! Both for professionally dx & self dx <3
