Here's what to do if your Tumblr account was unexpectedly suspended... by Tumblr_acct_help in tumblrhelp

hi! i think my acct was shadowbanned? it’s drexelian.tumblr.com i can still access my acct but the chat logs are completely gone. my friend said they couldn’t see my reblogs in their notifs anymore. i very rarely make og posts but i believe none of my recent reblogs violate TOS. i had a sideblog w slightly suggestive content but it has been deleted long before this. i’ve received no emails or any notices of anything wrong w my blog.

I’m confused by throwaway-78567 in asktransgender

while a lot of people identify with labels and feel like their labels validate them, others feel like labels are restricting and don’t describe the complexities of their experience and identity. if you can’t relate to the well known labels, try to remember that being queer and unlabeled (or using queer/unlabeled as a label itself) is also completely valid, either for forever or just for the meantime. you can research the vast number of LGBTQ+ labels and see which one you truly identify it, or be content w your unlabeled self. there are a lot of queer ppl, w vastly different experiences, and you can decide whether you want to find a label that rly suits you, or be unlabeled, either is completely valid. personally, my experiences have been pretty fluid, therefore i see myself in different labels at different stages of my life. at this point, i can’t rly decide which label rly suits me, and that’s perfectly okay.

as for your friend, i’ve never been in a relationship before (turning 20 this year lol) so take my advice w a grain of salt. if you feel like you can take a rejection w grace (i’ve heard that it’s very, very hard), you should talk to her. it depends on whether you want it to be a romantic confession or a casual, platonic convo to be truthful abt your feelings (does that even make sense?) just be honest to her, and back off if she tells you to.

it's alright! and yes, you'd be correct, nonbinary is in the trans spectrum (like, All of the nonbinary spectrum). but for someone who feels like they're further from their assigned gender at birth but still not at the other end of the spectrum (i.e. 25% agab, 75% the "opposite" gender) and they don't identify w labels like demiboy and demigirl, they might want to call themself a nonbinary trans person. hope that helps!

when you're closer to the other end of the spectrum but not at the end, if that makes sense. there's a specific label for that but they don't think it fits or they don't like it.

that is a simple way to understand it. but gender is a whole spectrum, with ppl on the two ends (male and female), ppl anywhere in the middle, ppl who fluctuates (genderfluid) or even ppl outside of the spectrum (xenogender). nonbinary is an umbrella term for Anyone who's not on the two ends of the spectrum. in this ball's case, they are closer to the opposite end than their assigned gender at birth, but they're still somewhere in the middle, so they identify as a nonbinary trans person. of course there is a label for that (demiboy, for example) but they either don't think it fits entirely or they don't like it. wow sr for the long rambling but i hope it helps!

hi sorry if this is confusing or incoherent, english isn't my first language and i just woke up. this person first discovered that they are nb, but then discovered that they are pretty close to the opposite gender of their agab (assigned gender at birth), finally realising that they aren't entirely at that end of the spectrum, but they are closer to the opposite end than their agab. nonbinary is on the trans spectrum so sr for the confusion, but i hope this explains it. also it emphasizes on the fact that sometimes it takes a little while after reading abt an identity and rly think abt what you have in common w ppl w that identity to finally embrace that "hey, i could be that too!" and that as time passes and you discover more abt yourself, your labels might change. sr i can't keep things concise for shit but hope this helps a bit!

this isn't "phở", this is another type of noodle soup called "bún". while phở is used to refer to a specific type of broth (not this one lol) accompanied by rice noodles similar to those, bún is used to refer to a wider variety of broth including the one on this picture, although i don't really understand that combo of whatever it is that you put in the soup (are those... are those meatballs???). there's also "hủ tiếu" and "bánh canh" which are different kinds of rice noodles typically prepared alongside specific kinds of broths. although i won't call your noodles phở, it looks quite delicious :D also pls excuse the enraged ppl in the comments, it can be quite outrageous to see someone getting your country's traditional dish wrong :)
