If I can take a moment to share my experience as a trans woman on the internet

My experience is by no means unique, it's just one experience in the plethora of trans feminine experiences and not unique to only tumblr. Though, I'll mostly talk about what I've experienced here. In the light of recent events, the reaction of "the ceo," and the comments he contributed regarding dog pile harassment; I simply wish to share my experiences that I have had to juxtapose the dynamic of his statements against a lived experience.

This account started as a way to document my social transition and eventually my journey with HRT. Tumblr had always had a large lgbtqia+ community. The queer people here inspired me and gave me hope. What I didn't know, but soon learned, is that there were people here who hated me for being trans. Being early in my transition I was a prime target. TERF groups would plan raids on my account. What this entailed was: rebloging my selfies into circles that would say the most vile things about me, threaten to kill, tell me I was ugly, tell me that everyone I knew thought I was a joke, I was a monster, my family hated me, that I should kill myself, they'd download and edit my photos into caricatures or depictions of violence. They would fill my ask box with hundreds of asks detailing how they'd kill me, call me slurs, describe the ways that I should kill myself, and pretty much everything else I mentioned above with the reblogs. Their words were carefully curated to try and break me, break my spirit, break my will to live. I tried reporting it. But it was impossible to keep up with, and like many others I saw no real response. Eventually I learned that I had to block all of them. 100's of blogs, eventually 1000's of blogs. My block list these days is incredibly extensive. I had to wade through their blogs, traverse sickening hate speech and imagery to eliminate entire circles of people harassing me. I became jaded to the hate speech, hardened to it. But mind you, I shouldn't have had to expose myself to all of this just to be at peace here amongst my community. I received no help, I was left to my own devices to protect myself. The people who hurt me never saw consequences. It was painful, it was unfair, and no one else should have to put the hours upon hours of effort and exposure to hate in to protect themselves like I did. But again my experience is not unique.

I have had to repeat this process of preemptive blocking periodically once a new circle discovers me. Blocking them all before they can start the process of hate all over again. A process of hate that seems to be hitting my community with rapidly increasing fervor as of late.

I've seen others experience far worse than me. The TERF circles will hunt down their personal information and doxx them. Expose their home address, telephone numbers, names of their family members. I can't begin to imagine the terror my queer siblings must feel when someone tells then that they want to murder them all while showing them that they know where you live. This is not a new thing, not a rare tactic, it happens. And we've all seen the news stories of trans people being murdered by people who planned it and were vocal about it.

I know this is depressing. And it doesn't reflect all of my experiences. I've had wonderful experiences here, met amazing people, made close friends, found inspiration, found hope. I found a community.

And it's my community, and I never want to let it go.

I do have fear that making this statement will get me banned. But, I wanted to say it. I wanted it to exist in the world so that everyone who doesn't know our experiences has a chance to understand and with luck empathize.

I'll part on these words and hope for the best both for myself and for every member of the community.

Amidst the storm, hold onto hope: tough days are just a chapter, not the whole story. ☔️🌈 Keep believing in brighter tomorrows. 💖

one day you'll look back and think of all that you went through and maybe there won't be as much bitterness anymore. one day it won't hurt too much. maybe it's silly to look forward to that kind of light at the end of the tunnel that may or may not happen, but if that's what is keeping you going right now, i heard someone told me once there's no stupid reason to stay alive. and i agree. so what? i don't know what the future holds, but i want to bet something good would come out of it. even if it's scary, even if it might end up in me being disappointed, and even if that may not be true or i find it hard to believe, if it keeps me going now, there's no reason for me to kill it either. who knows, maybe the best will happen? i'm tired of letting the past dictate my present is all.

hey, you. yeah, you. can i share something with you?

I just want to say that I so very much look forward to the day where you are able to look toward the future and:

1. see the possibilities there

2. imagine yourself among all those possibilities

3. sense yourself feeling happy among those possibilities

4. feel prepared to take the steps that lead to your happiness among those possibilities

5. find happiness in each step toward your future

6. comprehend that even though our best-laid plans go awry, and our destination will change over time, the journey is always, always worth the struggle

No matter how dark it gets, you can be, or find, the light that keeps you warm until the storm abates.
