Predstrogen - Tumblr Posts

Bro this fuckin website will flag a trans woman’s face for being “inappropriate” and then immediately follow it up with “Stuff we think you’ll like on Tumblr TV” and the thumbnail is a pair of naked tits covered in a suspicious white substance. Porn bots run rampant but yeah, it’s definitely the trans people that are the real problem.

And no, that’s not remotely close to the content we browse. No shade to people who do but we actively dismiss all pornographic content on our dash since we don’t wanna see it and the algorithm is so fucked it thinks we still wanna see it.

Nice site you got here photomatt. Doing a great job, buddy. /s

I would’ve @‘d him but he blocked us. Coward. Fucking face the consequences of your bigotry instead of hiding.

-Kris Dreemurr (they/them)

LITERALLY THIS YES

@staff why do trans women keep getting banned when there’s pornbots EVERYWHERE on this site??

It’s fucking ridiculous. Banning random trans women is already deplorable enough but doing that while bots are running rampant posting actually explicit content just makes you look way worse. Clown ass site.

-Kris Dreemurr (they/them)

thousands upon thousands of pornbots: *exist*

tumblr staff: what? are we supposed to do something about that?

one singular transfem: *exists*

tumblr staff: we’re gonna erase you from fucking existence you swine

It's Rita. We're done here for now

I'm sure everyone's heard by now that something's happened at least so I'll try keep it short [lie]. This post is a rough explanation and not a defense, if mutuals want to add evidence of what I claim then please do so, I will have a note to friends at the end, feel free to skip to that 🧡🤎

I got terminated on predstrogen due to mass false reports about sexually explicit content, I had evidence of these mass false reports, and when I asked support for help they stated "As you know, you posted sexually explicit content and additionally harrassed people"

My issue isn't with the account termination, it's the double standard around it

I've had multiple accounts. The first (madhopz) was terminated for content on sideblogs when I was doing sex work and I know I won't get it back. The second (sadhopz) was targetted by lolcow forums, and took half a year to get back, only once I humiliated myself to support by screenshotting and documenting what they were saying about me and sharing images of me. The third (predstrogen) I mentioned and I'll get back to, but I was never emailed to explain why the fourth (Avewy/Predesterone) was terminated. All we know is that it was right after the CEO got upset with me, I broke no rules and said no one should attack anyone, I posted no explicit content, none.

A man twice my age and worth $400,000,000 threatened to call the cops on a trans woman online, and then deleted me when I mentioned this

To add insult to injury, he refused to call me "she" the entire time, referring to me as "they" and backpedalling to vaguely refer to me as The Account. I'm a fucking person, and you know that by threatening to pin the cops on me. Eventually even slipping and calling me "it" before respecting the womanhood of the person he would gladly talk about and "make an exception for"

My complaint to his post was that he says I was banned for harrassment, which is a lie. I was banned for mass false reports of sexual content, despite having been told by staff directly a month prior that my blog does not break that rule, and have had people admit to collaborating on reports. But my biggest issue is that even if I was banned for harrassment, then what did they do about my own harrassment?

They did fuck all and told me my stalkers should not be removed from Tumblr

After banning me without a reason, I immediately got an email back about harrassment and stalking that I sent a support ticket about in December. They banned me twice before looking into this, and their conclusion was "we won't do a thing". These are people who have been on my ass all of last fucking year calling me a rapist and a pedophile, and they ignored it. Does that sound like a man who cares about harrassment on his site, or only when it happens to him?

After the ban on Predstrogen and I moved to Avewy, they were everywhere. Inbox messages claiming I was sending asks to children threatening to rape them, anonymous people stating they're our victim and are scared to speak out about what I did to them. It all only happened now. They've turned a blind eye and given these people a win. I saved it all in an #archive tag as proof if I was ever asked or got through to support, but that didn't happen when i was terminated without warning or reason

When Matt deleted me himself, he deleted everything I posted and saved as evidence for my situation. Anonymous asks slandering me, reblogs of people organising to get rid of me, my own documentation of what staff did, all of it was deleted with @avewy/@predesterone.

I don't want to be on this site anymore, I was happy all day today because I feel free without it. But I miss my accounts, because of all the memories with them. I don't want to use them, but I want @madhopz, @predstrogen, and @predesterone back so that all the times ive had with friends, lovers and strangers arent completely eradicated. Every single thing uploaded to Predstrogen is gone and marked mature now, even my face and identity, because this was a sexual content ban and not harrassment as they say. They found another reason after the fact

Give me my identity and my memories back

To all my friends and mutuals, thank you. Even people I've had falling-outs with have been nothing but kind and I want everyone to know I appreciate it. I saw every ask before deletion, I see how many people are on Discord. I can't keep up, but knowing you reached out at all means the world to me

I was happier today off this site than I have been in months. I'm not driving myself to breakdowns anymore by being on here, my mental and emotional state has been in ruins. Maybe I'll come back on this account, but for now I'm leaving it blank and still and moving on.

This post is incredibly meandering and too long, but I'm not trying to defend myself or document everything, I'm trying to make sure I say something to people I care for instead of disappearing, you deserve it. I'm doing well, please find me elsewhere.

Goodnight, thank you 🧡🤎

ive only seen bits and pieces of what happened to predesterone, i know they got deleted (at least twice) and the ceo is making defamatory statements about them, but im genuinely confused as to where I could find this all going down. if u dont wanna gather links or whatever i get it its just that everything popped up on my dash suddenly and i want to know whats happening but i dont know how to find out

theres obviously a lot of people posting rn but ill try to get some links together to sum it up as best i can find- keep in mind i never followed her myself and only distantly knew of her so there are people closer to the situation that probably have more stuff they can tell you though, and searching her url(s) has a lot of info

avery has i think two blogs deleted yeah, unsure about any older ones but predstrogen and avewy/predesterone were both deleted very recently

predstrogen (the first blog) was allegedly deleted for "sexually explicit material" despite any posts that may have been labelled as such being marked with a community label and her blog recently being manually approved as NOT containing adult content. she also talks in this post, as well as here, about how she has had a support ticket open for several months for harassment she was receiving that has not been dealt with

this is an example of the threats and harassment she has been receiving. ive seen a few different people get this ask copy pasted

the CEO of tumblr made a post wherin he publicly aired information regarding her deletion and threatened legal action against her , showing examples of the alleged death threats where no actual threats were made and telling people in the replies to just leave if they were unhappy with the moderation of the site

avery made a post about this and her new blog was again deleted within five minutes of her making it

multiple people who have made posts about the situation have said matt has DMed them and confronted them

this is word im hearing secondhand, so if i get any details wrong please correct me, but posts of hers such as her transition timeline are apparently ones that were flagged. i cant find any screenshots but many of her posts, including one that was a silly edit of a snow leapord wearing shoes, have been completely wiped from the site. if anyone has a screenshot or link to both the original post and it being deleted i can add it to this

again there are a lot of posts going around but these are i think what you really need to know whats going on...

Remember all you. THIS is the post that triggered Rita's ban.

the amount of people posting completely unverified (or outright false!) shit about predstrogen is actually kind of sickening to me.

you don't have to like rita. i literally had her blocked because she annoyed me endlessly. but that doesn't mean i'm not going to IMMEDIATELY run to her side of the court against tumblr's transphobic moderation team. genuinely whose side are you on if you're excuse for not putting the fire to photomatts feet right now is any flavor of "oh she's problematic".

nobody fucking cares right now. personal feelings are not to be taken into consideration right now. this is a community issue, not a personal one.

trans unity means we stand united even if we can't fucking stand each other as people, because as a community we are all we have.

I don’t understand why it’s bad that person got banned, it’s not allowed to make death threats against the CEO so they banned them, why is that some big controversy? I’m asking genuinely. I just randomly saw this on the tumblr trending I don’t have any other context

Okay, so there is a LOT of context to this.

For about a year now, Predstrogen has been targeted by terfs for a harrasment campaign. They mass flag her posts, and report her for every single thing that could be potentially seen as "out of line."

One post that got flagged as explicit was a transition timeline. Fully clothed, no skin but lower arm and face. It got marked as explicit material. Predstrogen had this disputed, and it was re-labed as SFW with public acknowledgedmemt from the websites moderation staff that this was a mistake, AND that there was a person in said moderation staff that had a personal transphobic agenda against Predstrogen.

I believe it was days after the posts and her blog was marked as all a-okay, that her transition timeline was once again marked as explicit. Keep in mind she's constantly dealing with people spreading false rumors around about her being a pedo and into incest (typical TERF dogwhistle lies).

The staff then decide, no, actually, this post IS explicit. And after a year of harrasment, constantly being false flagged, having the very staff of the website be provably against her, and a fresh wave of TERF propaganda coming up against her, she had a small break down and said that "she wishes photomatt would die in a car crash with perhaps a bunch of hammers in it that explode" (paraphrased) and then photomatt, who is the CEO of tumblr, decided that one thing was reason enough to ban her for life.

CEO of tumblr photomatt thought "i hope you die in a car crash filled with exlpoding hammers" was a serious death threat.

Predstrogen did nothing but get fed up with repeated incompetence by the staff and voice it in a meme like manner.

I think this whole *situation* is particularly difficult for me because last year I was written up at work for "threatening behavior" after an argument with a cis coworker (a man who stood a head taller than me)

My transmisogynistic boss wrote me up 3 months after the argument, claiming I was waving a hammer around and threatening my coworkers, entirely without evidence.

I appealed it, begging the manager I was meeting with to allow me to transfer departments. He made me wait 6 months, during which I suffered constant microaggressions from my boss.

Powerful men love to fabricate terror from us scary transfems because they know if they damage our reputation they can rip away what little safety we've managed to create for ourselves. I didn't quite believe it until I was made to.

since staff hates seeing transition timelines, I knew I just had to chime in :3 (especially since my gf did one)

Strange looking boy failure vs hot tranny lesbian

fuck @staff and that little bitch boy matt

I hope @photomatt is having a lovely Tuesday because I’m really not. I *just* found a sense of belonging here and have really been enjoying having a space where I can truly feel like it’s okay to be myself and I really fucking hate moving.

[hrt since 3/10/2022]

But let’s be real, rampant porn bots own large swaths of this website. Stolen photos of trans women get posted here all the time either in aggregated accounts or by literal impersonators. Predstrogen had a long standing account, is a real person, and was facing harassment and stalking that wasn’t being addressed by the moderation team. Who wouldn’t be fucking pissed?

She got nuked for reasons that are verifiably bullshit. I’ve chosen to rally around the fact that @staff went so far as to delete her fucking transition photos (before the account entirely) - by continuing to share mine.

I wish no ill will on @photomatt or their family nor do I wish any physical harm against any member of @staff. I am merely speaking out against the leadership of a website I care a lot about making horrible decisions that affect me and my friends. I find it absolutely ridiculous how much easier and safer I feel it is for me to be trans in public in a conservative part of the country vs. here online where there is such callous disregard for me and those people like me. I would say do better, but I don’t believe that you will.

andddd to the surprise of no one:

he is trying to cover this up. there wasn't even a reason given for the rejection. this post does NOT go against TOS or community guidelines whatsoever. i would know, i've read through them both thrice. i did, however, find this!

i have the right to display and redistribute this. this is stated in the tos. for fuck's sake, @photomatt @staff follow your own advice. here's a little reminder in case you forgot (straight from your own tos!):

you fucked around, now you're finding out. womp womp.

You know what, fuck it. If transfems can get banned for posting nonsexual timelines, I'll gladly go down hand in hand with my sisters. Here's 2019, 6 months before my egg cracked, to 2024, happily on Estrogen for a year and a half. I stand proudly with my community on this.

as you can see matt mullenweg's sabbatical is going swimmingly

LMAO i just spent like 10 minutes tryna figure out what the hell everyone was talking about with matt and cars and hammers only for it to be some of the most fragile white male elon musk bullshit ive ever seen and him trying so hard to cover it up just makes him look sadder honestly, fuck this hellsite, fuck matt mullenweg, trans rights

Figured now would be the best time to post my face as an out-and-proud trans woman! (he/they) If my account gets taken down it's been nice knowing you all. <3. Justice for predstrogen.

Remember all you. THIS is the post that triggered Rita's ban.

Tumblr's reply to the situation with CEO's transphobia is pathetic and you should not be thanking them for doing the bare minimum of saying he's not speaking for them. They fucking thanked that bitch.

The affected trans women are still banned.

A transphobic manchild offered no proper apology. Or stopped. He is also still in his position.

Tumblr is still factually transphobic. Keep pushing.

God, it's fucking remarkable how people claim to support predstrogen and oppose transmisogyny, while still participating in transmisogynist harassment campaigns like the one against the co-host co-founder.

Like that's literally what the scandal is about. Predstrogen was the victim of years-long harassment campaign which used mass-reporting and got her account banned. And tumblr let her harassers blogs stay up while deleting her accounts. And the ceo took criticism of tumblr's transmisogynistic moderation practices as a personal insult to his self-image as a cool dude, so he has repeatedly personally justified it. Matt Mullenweg isn't the only villain here, the hate mob driving harassment against her is too.

I remember the callout posts against predstrogen, sometimes thy were outright terfs, but others justified the harassment in the same coded ways they do for every trans woman. "She was into problematic kinks or defended them, and therefore basically a pedophile sexual predator." Or "she is a transfeminist, therefore she is a transandrophobe that hates transmascs."

Like it's the same pattern of bullshit, it doesn't explicit target her identity as a trans woman, but these callouts repeatedly happen to transfem after transfem every fucking time. And they always use the same bullshit accusations that just so happen to line up with the widespread transmisogynistic image of transfems as sexual predators who oppress real wombyn.

The reason predstrogen's story resonates is because it vividly shows what it is like to be a transfem on this platform.It didn't just happen to her as an individual, It's part of a larger systemic pattern of transmisogyny.

If you participate in these transmisogynistic callout harassment even by just reblogging the callouts, you are also a villain here. And you can't claim to support predstrogen while participating in the process that drove her off the platform.

You can't condemn Matt Mullenweg when you are a willing cog in the same transmisogynistic hate machine that he is defending. The only difference between you and Mullenweg is not that you lack his bigotry, it's that you lack his millions of dollars, and the immense individual power and influence that brings.

I'd like to quickly address the fact that this post has nothing to do with shaming transition photos first.

If anything, I think it's even more hilarious at how Tumblr thinks it's "sexual" to post Trans people transitioning, while actual porn, Queer and Straight alike, get to stay up all they want with no repercussions.

How I feel scrolling down the Queer tags only to find out it's mostly just porn:

been loving the depressed ass man to cool slay women posts on my timeline (circumstances could be better but they're appreciated none the less)

they make me realize that my anxiety about transitioning not being what I want and that I won't work or that I'll still look like a dude is totally just internalized transphobia every one of these posts everyone looks absolutely amazing

since staff hates seeing transition timelines, I knew I just had to chime in :3 (especially since my gf did one)
