Massive Anti-Trans Blocklist
Hi! One of my friends accidentally rb’d from a TERF and I ended up in a giant rabbit hole of anti-trans accounts. Here they are so you can go block them! They’re in no particular order, and this certainly doesn’t encapsulate all of them, but I sure did run into a lot.

hey, so..
I’ve been seeing some posts lately @’ing the staff and talking about removing TERFs from Tumblr
so... this is kind of complicated to do, because it requires a moderation staff that specifically looks for and weeds out TERFs to remove the site, and there’s clearly already some moderation issues taking a look at how many bots are running around on the site good lord
i think at the moment the best solution is for trans communities to bond together and both mass-block as many TERFs as we can find, as well as for us desktop users to all have the Shinigami Eyes extension to help find TERFs
yknow what i think WILL help? i think it might be best if emails are sent to the tumblr staff’s email address, where it’s more likely to be seen, not asking for a mass ban of TERFs as this may be difficult to implement right now, but instead for a very important feature present on Twitch:
SHARED BAN LISTS.
I think it would be INFINITELY more helpful if you could link together ban-lists set up to have two modes: either mark the shared bans with Warning Flags, or have your account automatically block those accounts as well in real time
just a thought

Ive been sound in my identity for a while, but have only recently considered getting any sort of gender affirming surgery or hrt. (Partially because money, covid, and knife scary) lately ive seriously considered getting top surgery, but i don't know where to start. Do i need to get a therapist? Is there a chance my therapist will say no? Is there any red flags i should be on the look out for?
I've only recently started my journey to top surgery in the last year or so but I'll give what advice I can! I'm speaking purely from a US standpoint here as well, I cannot give advice on getting gender affirming surgery in other countries unfortunately.
So, honestly, it depends on your insurance. If you don't know what insurance you have, it'd do you much good to find out. Once you know, look up your insurance name + Gender Affirming Surgery. Once you find the official website for your insurance and the section about Gender Affirming Surgery, you will be able to see if they cover it and under what circumstances. Some providers require HRT, some do not, but I find that it's gotten more lenient in that regard over the last few years - for example, I do not need HRT to be insured for top surgery.
You will need a therapist, yes. Specifically you're looking for a gender therapist. It may take a few tries to find someone you mesh with in terms of a therapist, but generally a gender therapist is there to talk to you about your gender, advocate for you, and write you a letter allowing you to get surgery/HRT.
Depending on your insurance, you may only need one letter - but sometimes you will need a second one, from another therapist or potentially a psychiatrist who has diagnosed you with Gender Dysphoria. Finding one gender therapist can help you on the path to figuring out if you need one letter or two, it's dependent on where you are and your insurance. Your gender therapist usually will (and SHOULD) have experience with that sort of thing. If your gender therapist does not know what you should do in your state, that is a red flag.
In my experience, I've never heard of someone's therapist telling them no to a letter of recommendation for surgery. If this happens, however, nothing is stopping you from leaving that therapist and finding a new one that will be more receptive to helping you. It is their job to help you along the goals that you have set for yourself. My gender therapist has never questioned my identity as I, like you, am very solid in my identity and I know what I want. In some cases, gender therapists may try to help people who are confused about their identity feel more solidified in it, but they should never put you down or tell you what you are or aren't. This is your gender, your identity, and your journey.
Do research on your surgeon! Extensively! As much as you can. Your gender therapist may recommend you someone, as mine did, but it's always a good idea to search up your potential surgeon and see their reviews - not only in top surgery, but in cosmetic surgery in general. You'll likely want someone who specializes in transgender surgery, or in this case, cosmetic chest surgery in general. The surgeon I'm aiming for specializes in chest surgery for reductions and top surgery for example, and that's the kind of thing I'd want. She mainly focuses on cosmetic chest surgery such as that.
Some good questions to ask;
Do you take my insurance? (this is best asked over the phone before scheduling anything but you can also ask during the consultation just to be sure)
How long have you been doing top surgery / what is your experience with transgender patients?
Do you offer liposuction and if so, how much is it? (top surgery sometimes comes with or is done alongside a small amount of liposuction under the armpits to help with the appearance)
Do you offer revisions and if so, are they free? (my surgeon offers two free revisions after the surgery if something is not up to my standard, for example).
What does recovery look like? Do you use drains and/or a compression binder after surgery? (Not every surgeon uses drains, and not every surgery type requires drains. Mine will require a compression binder after surgery, but not all do. Talk to your surgeon.)
Do you write letters for patients to help with name changes? (Some surgeons do this, but not all. Mine does not, for example).
Ask to see before and after photos. Not all surgeon's websites have them listed due to the internet not exactly being great about confidentiality. My surgeon came back with a huge binder of before and after pictures which I scanned and decided I liked the results of.
Something to keep in mind when you get to the consultation is that your surgeon will have to physically evaluate you to see what kind of surgery method will be best for you. It may be alarming if you're not expecting it, but they do need to examine you in order to know fully what the best option is.
Remember that if you feel like something's off, you do not have to go with your first choice. Maybe you went to the consultation and felt like the surgeon wasn't a good fit - that's fine. Go to someone else. Do not risk it if you feel like the surgeon isn't right for you and can afford to go somewhere else. This is your body and you should not settle for "good enough".
I hope this helps! I am aiming to get my own surgery soon. The letter has been sent, and I have my own copy - all that I'm waiting for is insurance to get back to me. That part, in my experience, has been very hard because it feels like a limbo. Still, do not give up! We are all in this together and I hope that you, like me, will soon be on the path to getting the surgery that you need! <3
