#fuck you photomatt

[gorillaz-and-cupcakes-fan]

The thing about people like photomatt is that they probably already were transphobhobic and were just hiding it all of this time. What's worse is that he's probably got a bunch of other terfs and transphobes whispering in his ear in friendly and consolatory voices about trans agenda or sterilizing children or some such nonsense.

All this because a trans woman dared to express her frustration with being a target of transmisogynistic harassment and tumblr doing nothing about it.

Fuck you, Matt. If all it takes for you to go full mask off is for someone who was rightfully upset to make a funny post about a car covered with hammers, then you're not fit to run a website. Resign or sell the site off to somebody competent.

oh huh, who's that reblog right at the bottom there?

hey, hey matt? i know you're reading this since you literally can't peel yourself off tumblr despite you constantly saying that this time you're gonna go on sabbatical for real. so, you listening?

go fuck yourself.

you are a CEO techbro. you are in one of the most privileged classes on the planet. and the moment a trans woman vents about how unbelievably frustrating it is to get harassed for months on end for simply existing only to get banned from the site you own when reporting it to the staff, you run crying to the fucking FBI that the big scary trannies are going to explode your car with hammers. and because you're a white CEO techbro - the exact class of people that cops actually protect - they're actually inclined to listen, and to act.

i don't think they're gonna do shit in this case because 1. avery lives in northern ireland, 2. even if she was in the usa, wishing death on someone isn't a crime in the usa, and 3. come the fuck on, but let's say this was something the cops might get involved in.

do you have any idea how terrifying the thought of being thrown in prison is for trans women, especially if they happen to live in a red state? do you understand how often trans women get denied medical care and abused and raped in prison? do you think the cops have any respect for us, or that half of them aren't chomping at the fucking bit to "teach a tranny a lesson"? do you even remotely understand the gravity of what you said?

your response to venting and laughable 'threats' is to say "well, guess i'll just sic the state on you and let it have its way!" and because you can easily acquire the info you need to do that, and because the state would be all too happy to go with it given the class you belong to and the class we belong to, that is an actual, actionable threat.

the banning people left and right? still a complete baby for that, and you're still proving that this space isn't for trans people, but... it's just more of the fucking same at this point. you're just another fucking door slammed in the face of every marginalized community (not just trans people) out there. threatening to bring the law in, however?

you are a coward. you are a bastard. you are a bully, you are two-faced fucking scum, and there's a fire pit in hell being stoked specifically for you. go fuck yourself.

I hope nothing happens to this car full of hammers. Spent a lot of money on those hammer really. No way it explodes though. Yeeep. Very well protected. Even if it does explode can't be more than a few times. No way. Cars don't just explode outside of tumblr hq. It's unprecedented. It'd be insane really. I would never let that happen to my car as a self respecting trans woman. It'd be terrible.

I wish photomatt and the rest of the transphobes on tumblr staff a very merry stomachache

#since apparently massharassing transwomen is fine but if you dare say anything negative to staff you get your head cut off #my post above is not legally a threat and I’m willing to go to court to prove it ✌️ #tumblr staff really loves to use the ‘we’re bleeding money’ excuse when convenient #but forgets it when they get to repeatedly threaten transwomen #protect trans women #photomatt #transphobia #fuck you photomatt #enbies supporting trans women #why are you booing me i’m right

[kikudrakken]

#fuck you photomatt #i hope you get exploded by hammer cars wielding hammers

[gay-fucking-goblin]

hey look at that

#photomatt is strangely rare in the tags search

and #predstrogen just straight up doesn't show anything recent

Fuck you Matt with your "sensitive feelings", bigotry, and disregard for the safety or even existence of trans people. Maybe try having the responsibility and emotional intelligence my sister had when she was four.

"Queerest site on the internet" my ass

Hi everyone. I've been putting some thought into the best way to bring this up without making light of it, since this is a serious topic and this is a very unserious blog. I don't want to reblog a bunch of individual posts without context and explanations attached, but if I find posts that I feel are thorough and explain what is going on, I may reblog them. Here is a summary, for anyone completely unaware of what is happening:

A trans woman (Rita, URL was Predstrogen, now Cyprederone) has had her account falsely flagged as NSFW and banned multiple times as a result of a transmisogynistic harassment campaign against her. You may have seen people talking about how her transition timeline has been flagged mature content, multiple times.

Support have been unhelpful when it comes to the harassment, and dubiously helpful about restoring accounts until this latest event.

People reached out to Photomatt about the topic, who is the CEO of Tumblr. He decided to respond, claiming that Rita was personally harassing him and posting death threats about him. This does not line up with the official reason why Rita was banned, which was "sexually explicit materials". The "death threat" was a slapstick post about an exploding car full of hammers. Matt threatened to contact the police or FBI about the threat, used neutral pronouns for Rita despite being informed of her pronouns, and even referred to her as 'it' in one sentence. He referred to Rita as "pergstrogen" in one post, which may be a particularly unfortunate typo, but may also be an ableist slur. He also sent people direct messages about the topic. Matt denied any possibility of transmisogyny playing a part, and suggested that people who feel this site is not safe for trans women should just leave to a different site.

Rita has been banned for life. Several people criticising Matt for this have also been banned.

Please pay attention to this, read other posts about it, look at Photomatt's blog (archived as of 21/02) to see the way he has handled this and Cyprederone's blog to see Rita's statement.

Here are all of Photomatt's posts about the topic, please check the notes of them to see people's responses as well as people archiving his comments. Edit: These posts have been deleted. I'm unsure if there is an archive somewhere of the comments, but these links are now the webarchive links to these posts.

You gonna do anything or make any statement about the rampant transmisogyny on this hellsite (original post with they/them) (first edit with "the account") (second edit with she/her) (archive of most recent edit)

I love this site and I’m sorry so many people are determined to ruin it.

So, the terfs and neonazis are fine, but a trans women giving threatening you is where you draw the line?

You should really feel bad about how transphobic tumblr is

all you ever do is drop the ban hammer on trans women you don't like, while casually ignoring the harassment they face

can I report your beahviour, or?

it's been four hours and nothing you've said has made this decision look better

Why did you misgender her lmao

❤ (heart emoji) [I don't yet have an archive of this. Please reach out if you have an archive of this, although there wasn't much relevant in this post.]

I'm continuing to get harassment and death threats here

My Beliefs and Principles

Tweeting Rita's saved URLs

He is further arguing with people on Twitter.

[Edit] Staff have now made a PR statement about the topic.

Please give trans women your love and support, and remember that this is deeply serious transmisogyny, not just an excuse to joke about car hammer explosions.

#transmisogyny #this is a very link heavy post so lmk if i fucked any of them up #a previous version of this post included a link to a blog that was only visible if you have an account. that should be rectified now #added archived links for several of the links as well as added two new photomatt posts #cyprederone has been taken down

[gloopydoops]

Seeing as you cannot threaten death on the staff, I hope photomatt has huge issues regarding his career and experiences a large and very unpleasant amount of work related stress and just generally hates his life going forward. I am going to bankruptcy threaten him. I hope he loses all of his money and must live as a middle class citizen at best but preferably in poverty.
