Then you don't care that Tumblr's fashion for trans means people are faking your identity just to seem popular? You don't care that the very issues you mention are ignored in favor of fandom characters who can't choose whether to wear skirts or pants?

No. I don't. My trans concerns are health insurance, homelessness, unemployment, and familial abandonment/abuse. I do not care about kids on tumblr, who are not a serious force in this society to cause me to end up homeless again.

I'm not telling YOU not to care. By all means, care all you want! But I DO NOT GIVE A SHIT.

I thought people complained about tumblr because they were outraged over everything. It's weird that I'm getting these comments about me NOT being outraged over something.

Warning: insufficent loathing of Tumblr detected. To rectify, please increase loathing of Tumblr by at least 13.7 percent. ;)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of tumblr. But seriously, people complain about tumblr caring WAY TOO MUCH about little things, and now I'M supposed to care way too much about them caring way too much?

Please. I'm overdrawn at the care bankk. I've got less shits to give than a constipated tree sloth. A Mormon tea party has more fucks than I have to give about kids on tumblr.

Er, I mean... yes. How dare those kids. I am so mad. I am going to write a letter to my editor about Kids These Days and their Homestucks and their silly pronouns and their fanfiction... not like back in MY day!

While I agree in general that kids on tumblr are probably not the primary concern for anyone with half a brain, there still are some of the more disgusting examples who will try to get you fired/expelled from your university/swatted just for disagreeing with them on the internet. As soon as it slips into that territory, it becomes so much more than just some silly kids complaining way too much.
They are a minority, definitely, and it's not just a tumblr-isolated problem. But the opinion that these things are alright if they do it to others is still a fairly common one in certain circles on tumblr, and it can be slightly worrying.

Whoa, dude, when did I ever say I was okay with that shit? I was specifically talking about transfic on the Internet. I didn't say ANYTHING about trolling, bullying, or abuse. That's a totally different matter.

The big problem with the transtrender kids on Tumblr is that it makes it even harder for legitimately trans people to be taken seriously. Like, it's seriously harmful. I can see why people are baffled.

[(Anonymous)]

Not only that, it's harmful to non-trans people who don't fit into traditional gender norms too.

[(Anonymous)]

The number of people who actively use tumblr and are influenced by that side of it are actually very, very small.

The problem with fandom people is we all seem to think that what's going on in fandom spaces is noticed and cared about by the general public. For the most part, it's not. Most people have never come across "transtrender" kids because they're using the internet for other things.

[lb_lee]

Look, tumblr kids are not the ones who kept my healthcare expensive, who made getting a job harder, who drove me to homelessness. That was the bigots in power, the adults who control the healthcare and legal system. Ergo, it is the BIGOTS I care about, because THEY ARE THE PROBLEM.

I don't care how a bigot gets their transphobia. I don't care if they got it because a trans person took their wallet, killed their dog, or made a stupid blog somewhere on the Internet. I'm still going to hold them accountable for their own bigotry. The blogger or mugger is not responsible for the bigot's bigotry; THE BIGOT IS.

Blaming a child for an adult's bigotry is asinine. I'm not going to waste my rage and energy on THAT. I have so many other things to be pissed off about! Things I can actually CHANGE.

For Christ's sake.
