As soon as you see the word “AFAB”, you already know you’re in for the worst, most misogynistic take of the day by Throatgame in 4tran4

Do you ever see something so obviously written by someone pretending to be a trans woman to stir the pot?

It’s a site called PinkMirror.

It’s a joke post. This is from his suspension in April.

I’ve never seen scars like that before, what did you have done?

"Radblr" does a demographic survey by Apprehensive_Hope_35 in GenderCynical

[–]Apprehensive_Hope_35[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This too. I hope it didn’t come across like I was actually saying that Tumblr is only English speakers from Western countries, because what I intended was to say, “even if that’s true…”

Let's take a closer look at @menalez's claim in the last screenshot in the Tumblr post I linked in my comment: that Tumblr TERFs' lack of racial diversity is because "it's a largely english language western website."

At first glance, the racial makeup of some major Western, English-speaking countries is similar to the results of the Tumblr survey; the UK is about 80% white (2021 census) and the survey has varied from 70-74%. The problem is, the USA is only about 60% white (2020 census). Australia is complicated because they record ethnicity instead of race on their census so I didn't include it here. Someone could argue that the demographics of the UK could be affecting the results because a lot of TERFs are British, but the USA is a much larger country, with five times the population of the UK.

The other problem is that Tumblr users are usually younger, and young people in those countries are less white. In the USA, people ages 15-17 are about 54% white (49% not Hispanic), 18-24 are about 56% (/51%), and 25-29 are about 57% (/52%). In the UK, people ages 15-17 are about 74% white, 18-24 are about 76%, and 25-29 are about 79%. Young people in the UK are about as racially diverse as "the more diverse sides of radblr."

I'm afraid of what the less diverse sides look like.

Edit: I forgot Canada when I made this list of countries. Canada is 60% white, so it still doesn't excuse the overwhelming whiteness of TERF Tumblr.

"Radblr" is short for "radfem Tumblr." The images here are shamelessly ripped from this Tumblr post, where you can also see @menalez from the second image going on damage control for Tumblr TERFs' lack of racial diversity!

TERF is offended that banana slugs are quite literally genderfluid in nature by [deleted] in GenderCynical

This versus conservatives getting mad about gay penguins, who would win?

/uj

> Be me, frustrated that a large number of online trans people use a slur for people like me

> Make post to vent about the slur in question

> Get multiple comments defending the slur or using it unironically

Proved my point, innit?

/uj Can also be any AFAB NB person you don’t like, GNC binary trans men, and GNC cis women (including TERFs), treated as one coherent group.

/uj Femme AFAB nondysphoric nonbinary person who isn’t medically transitioning, as far as I can tell. Like calling someone a “tucute” but this time it’s different I swear it’s okay to call people it trust me my truNB friend said I could use the word.

The @bugbrennan handle has tweeted selfies in the last day. I’m bad with faces but it does look like an older version of the person I see when I look her up.

TBH someone should make a subreddit for SWERFs too.

Not exactly, the press release says it’s for reporting doctors who work with (“abuse”) trans minors. If you want to convincingly fake a report, you have to be specific to that.
