First and foremost I want black women to stay home. STOP PROTESTING! I seen a lot of black men posting about “ protest pussy being the best” & how it is an opportunity to meet black women. Secondly, stop allowing black men to brain wash you before you have an Ari Lennox & Snoop Dog situation. Did you see the way Snoop Dog violated Ari Lennox? A lot of black men do not care about us; yet we crave acceptance. Thirdly, can we please focus on black women right now? Can we cash app black women, start organizations that are EXCLUSIVELY for BLACK WOMEN! Especially women like, Oluwatoyin Salau. There are a lot of black women that have similar stories as her. There are a lot of black women that have been failed by black men. & can I talk about defunding the police. Yes, the police isn’t shit but who is going to capture men like Aaron Glee Jr...... & black lives matter do NOT COUNT FOR RAPIST, MURDERERS, CHILD MOLESTORS, ETC . You can call me insensitive all you want, but I am done advocating for everyone. Suck my dick.
Anyways, there need to BE more shelters for black women. Black women need to feel safe. Who the hell is protecting us? Not the cops, not our men, shit, not even our family. Jesus ! ..

We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.
Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.
Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.
And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.
How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.
I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.
