Tumblr keeps recommending TERF blogs to me, a trans person. I might be leaving this site again. It’s hard enough being trans in this world without being constantly confronted by posts from people I don’t even follow telling me I am what’s wrong with the world. And of course, they’re not overt about it, using words I could block. It’s sneaky language, dogwhistles, hate laid out with everyday words. I’m not gonna sit here and manually block them as they come.

Tumblr might not be big anymore, but it’s still a significant part of my audience. I now have to choose between protecting myself as a trans person or preserving my career. Love this for me.
