I'm 32. When I was in my early twenties, I overheard a pair of 50ish year old women talking about the ideal age to stay at permanently. One said, "Everyone says 25. I wouldn't want to be in my twenties forever. Everything is hard and you get upset too easily."

Hearing her say that helped me so much. I thought about it countless times. Every time things felt overwhelming, I remembered what she said. The words of this total stranger, who wasn't even talking directly to me, brought me a lot of comfort, so I hope they can help you, too.

thought they needed a little reminder that they still have far more to lose if they double down on this stupidity.

spread the word, it seems they're... very forgetful about this.

@staff You're not very subtle.

[ID1: A screenshot of Tumblr's support request page. The category for support is Feedback and the description reads:

"Hey, remember how you settled a discrimination bias lawsuit only last year due to the severely sloppy porn ban moderation predominately targeting the LGBT community?

Well, with that in mind, and the fact that you're already struggling to turn a profit with this site, I highly recommend taking a look at whoever on the moderation team is actively going out of there way to falsely flag as many posts talking about trans people as "mature content" despite not having any mature content.

Do you really want to risk another lawsuit defending a staff member's immature vendetta?"

ID2: A collection of screenshots.

The first is the Tumblr search results for 'crossdressing'. There is a pop-up reading "Hold your horses! These search results are likely to contain content which does not comply with Tumblr's Community Guidelines. To help keep everyone safe we're not displaying any content here." There's a button reading "Learn more".

The second is the Tumblr search results for 'tgirl' which has the same "Hold your horses" pop-up.

The third is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/foone posts "Me: I'm trans
Tumblr:"

@/catgirl-kaiju reblogs with "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label."

@/notaspy11 reblogs with a screenshot of the post, showing that it has a Mature Community Label, and stating "Literally beyond parody".

The fourth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/transmortifried (deactivated) posts "ayyy guess who got her navel pierced today", with two attached images of herself. The first is her showing a peace sign to the camera, and the second is a picture of her stomach, showing the navel piercing.

@/transmortifried reblogs with a screenshot of an email from Tumblr. It reads:

"Hello transmortifried,

We've reviewed your classification appeal and after careful review, we have determined that your post is considered adult under our Community Guidelines.

Don't worry, this post hasn't been deleted, it is just hidden from public view.

For more information about what is considered adult content, please see our FAQ support post or our Help Center.

Thank you,
Tumblr Trust & Safety"

She states "yeah okay it's a pattern"

@/zenonym (deactivated) reblogs with "and now they killed my blog! you fuckers!"

It is worth nothing that neither blogs have the typical "deactivated-date" appended to them, indicating they were most likely deleted by Tumblr rather than deactivated.

The fifth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/zenonym posts "staff fucking nuked me right when i complained about my selfie being flagged as mature content

too convenient for coincidence"

@/zenonym reblogs with "i had that fucking account for over ten years".

The sixth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/predstrogen posts a screenshot of her Tumblr notifications for Thursday, July 20th and Friday, July 21st. They're fully taken up by notifications that read "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label", for 15 flags total.

The seventh is a screenshot of a Tumblr post.

@/demilypyro posts a screenshot of a comment by @/telltaletypist reading "if there's one thing i know about being a trans woman it's that absolutely nobody gets weird or judgy at us for expressing sexual desire".

She comments "This is true I think, everyone just has very normal and even-minded thoughts and opinions about transfeminine sexuality".

@/demilypyro reblogs with a screenshot of Tumblr's 'Request community label review' pop-up. It reads:

"We have determined that your post contains content that would be better suited with a Community Label. While it does not violate our Community Guidelines, a Community Label has been added to your post so that it is only presented to those who wish to view that material.

If you think this was done in error, you can Request Review. Please include a short explanation with your request:"

There is a text box below, with text simply reading "come on".

@/zoethiahs-little-pillow-fort reblogs with "No honestly I think it's REALLY important that people see this. Literally the exact same post, sans trans people, and it didn't get flagged."

They attach a screenshot of a post by @/sounddesignerjeans, which is identical to this post (containing a comment from telltaletypist about how 'nobody gets weird or judgy at a man for expressing sexual desire' and a response from @/sounddesignerjeans identical to @/demilypyro's comment.

@/sounddesignerjeans reblogs with "By the way, this post has been reported as missing a community label by several people and still isn't marked mature. So it's not even that the original post got reported and this one didn't.

Tumblr's official stance is that trans women are considered explicit content."

@/gaycatastrophe reblogs with "@/staff @/support

hey remember how tumblr just had to settle with NYC's human rights commission for discriminating against LGBTQ people in your implementation of the NSFW ban? We do.

They attach an article titled "Tumblr is setting with NYC's human rights agency over alleged porn ban bias".

Whilst the dates are not visible, demilypyro's reblog containing the Request Review form was 19 minutes after the inital post about transfeminine sexuality was made, and sounddesignerjeans' reblog commenting that their post about male sexuality was not flagged despite multiple reports was made 19 hours after the inital post.

The eighth is a screenshot of a Tumblr post by @/predstrogen.

She posts two pictures of herself; the first presumably pre-estrogen and possibly pre-transition, and the second presumably whilst on estrogen and transitioning. She is noticeably more feminine in the second picture.

She captions the pictures "not even a full year apart… we stay silly :3 [cat emoji]".

@/predstrogen reblogs the post, with a screenshot of a notification reading "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label", and another screenshot showing her flagged posts. It shows that this post is flagged as requiring a Community Label. She comments "literally fuck off lol"

@/predstrogen reblogs the post, with a screenshot of a notification reading "We re-reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label", and another screenshot showing that this post still has a Community Label.

She comments "tumblr has doubled down and after almost a week re-reviewed MY FUCKING TRANSITION and decided it still needed a community label for sexual themes

fuck this website and fuck every person working there you pricks".

The ninth is a screenshot of a post by @/predstrogen. She says "OH COME ON THEY FLAGGED MY FUCKING PINNED POST? IT'S JUST MY BIO"

@/predstrogen reblogs with a screenshot of her pinned post, which has a pop-up on it reading "We reviewed your post and determined it needed a Community Label".

The pinned post reads: "Pinned: Hiya!!

It's Avery, or Moira. 21 years old. Bigender Trans gal, and a Poly Bi Lesbian. I use She/Him, she is preferred. I'm from Ireland and Disabled" (the post is cut off)."

She comments "GET A FUCKING GRIP ALREADY".

The tenth is a screenshot of @/i-aint-even-bovvered's Tumblr account. Their account's title is "Actually Jaskier". Their account's description is "Queer/Enby (they/them) Jew/ "Nearing 30" - my roommate".

A post is visible, reading "welp, my blog has been flagged as mature content for some reason". /end ID]
