something worth pointing out in the case of Tumblr CEO @photomatt 's statement regarding predstrogen is the very clear side stepping of the conversation being had. the ask he chose to respond to as part of his statement was asking about tumblr's transmisogyny problem, and what he is commenting on is tumblr's transphobia problem.

transmisogyny is certainly related to transphobia, but the two are not the same. i've seen plenty of trans folks who are guilty of transmisogyny and have even been harassed by such individuals on this very website. he repeatedly refers to transphobia and accusations of tumblr staff being transphobes throughout the statement, but never once brings up transmisogyny. perhaps he is unfamiliar with the term, but he could look it up and read up on it before responding to a question directly asking about it. he is very clearly not doing his due diligence in addressing these concerns.

he mentions tumblr having "LGBT+ including trans people on staff," but this is not especially helpful in assessing tumblr's transmisogyny problem. based on this we don't know how many trans people, whether or not there any transfem or TMA folks (who might understand the nature of transmisogyny better than TME people) on staff, what positions these queer people hold in the company, or whether or not any of tumblr's queer employees are on the moderation team. and it's understandable why some of these specifics are left out; you don't want to put any staff members in danger of being doxxed or harassed, especially if they're vulnerable marginalized people. however, it seems to me a gross oversight to not mention if there are any trans folks working on the moderation team.

i think it's also a huge misstep to focus on predstrogen so singularly when the conversation about her account being nuked is part of a larger conversation about transmisogyny. what this reveals, too, is transmisogyny playing an active role in the decision to ban her for life. one of the aspects of transmisogyny is viewing transfem folks as especially and uniquely dangerous. i'd like @photomatt to ask himself if he would have taken "threats" like the one cited as seriously if they came from a cis person or a TME trans person. really reflect on that, Matt. i also put "threat" in scare quotes here because, frankly, it's pretty clear that said comment is a cartoonish and outlandish example of violence used to demonstrate that the intent to harm is not literal. i do this all the time both on here and in real life. telling a friend i'm going to "maul them to death" over a minor annoyance is a comedic way of expressing frustration in a way that communicates it's not actually a big deal. saying something like "i want them to explode after falling down the stairs when trying to evade a falling piano full of knives" about a public figure or someone who is negatively affecting your life works as a way of demonstrating the intensity of your feelings while not veering into territory where it sounds like you're literally planning an assassination attempt. if you're reading this, Matt, i hope you can begin to understand the difference between something like:

and a real actual harassment, like:

y'know, all actual comments and posts i've received on this website, and reported with detailed explanations for why i'm reporting them but never heard back from the moderation team about the situation. i have no idea if anything was ever done about any of these people sending me bigoted violent messages because no one ever does follow-up. the only time i've ever received follow-up on a report was when i reported an account for promoting self-harm in the form of anorexia. that's it. one time in the over a decade i've been on this website.

how does all of this sit with you, Matt?

im incredibly normal about doppelganger stories. like. the thing with doppelgangers is so interesting to me because. it makes the person think about themselves in a way like "....could i do that?" like if the doppelganger is evil the person sees this person who looks exactly like them do horrible stuff and they have to think.... would they be able to do that? is there smt like that in their heart or whatever.

the mayor and hotguy just inserted themselves in this i dont make the rules but anyway theyre both evil right? but in different ways.

mayor is corrupt in the way that he doesnt care about the environment and the capitalist ways of his mayorship tho right- hotguy on the other hand literally beheads people to bring them to his king. and its not even for his king, he does it because he wants to. he uses the king as an excuse. if the king told him to do something he didnt want to do? hed turn on him in a second. hotguy does things for himself, hes violent and he likes that. the king just gives him a legal excuse to kill people

anyway yes take this incredibly self indulgent thing that ive been thikning about while waiting for my pizza

Pride flag for people who want to or have cut Crowfeather open and left him to die of infection! Hope you enjoy <3

and i hope you die, i hope we both die

AITA for beating the shit out of my sister?

I( afab 16) live with my parents, and sister and her fiance. My sister I will call Lana, is 23 and has a lot of issues with my parents.

My mom is disabled and can't bend at all, so I pick up a lot of housework for her, but my sister is resentful. She is very disrespectful and I always stand up for my mom, as she feels guilty about her disability, but I blame my sister.

Usually Lana screams at mom and calls her names, even get the cops called a few times until she goes to her room and screams in there, but about 2 weeks ago she got a peak and shoved my mom, who fell and threw out her back, hearing her fall and the argument, I called my dad who lives about 10 minutes away and helped my mom up, and put her in her chair, and when my sister called me a stupid momma's boy who hates her I kind of snapped, my dad was on the way but I tackled her and started punching

I am a big dude, even if I was born female. I am about 6'2" and 269 lbs, and I workout a lot. My sister is 5'7" and maybe 150 lbs.

My dad got home maybe 2 minutes later but the damage was done, I had a large scratch on my arm and bruise on my face, and my sister had a bloody nose, numerous bruise on her body and face, a fat lip and a black eye.

My dad pulled me off her and she cried saying I attacked her for no reason but my dad new she hurt my mom so he knew she was bull ahotting, he grounded me for a week and helped her clean her lip and nose, and I made sure my mom was okay

My dad understands what I did, but my mom's said she was disappointed as she never raised me to resort to violence.

I feel awful, but I won't apologize to my sister which my dad respects, my mom told me that I should so I have been feeling mixed

Am I the asshole? I didn't want to hurt her, but I just couldn't stand there and let her hurt my mom. But she is my sister and I'm almost twice her size.

My parents say I should say sorry as outr relationship is important and I agree but I'm just not ready, I get so mad when I see her.

Was I the asshole?

What are these acronyms?
