Ok so we have the #cross dressing and #femboy tags on tumblr. But the problem is a lot of people (or more likely, bots) post fetish and nsfw posts without tagging them properly. We at Tumblr understand that, while cross-dressing kinks are perfectly fine to have, not everyone is interested in seeing the fetish stuff either due to personal trauma, asexuality, or just simply being interested in other aspects of cross-dressing, like fashion, makeup or aesthetic.

So from now on we're at Tumblr are going to hide everything that isn't tagged with a content label. I don't mean everything that's supposed to be tagged but isn't. I mean everything that's not tagged as mature content. Even if your post is 100% SFW and does not show any underwear or bulges, it will be filtered out unless you give it a frivolous content tag. Same with searches for cross-dressing and femboy in the search bar. We'll filter out every post that isn't tagged. Don't worry, we'll also help by tagging some of your pictures as Mature Content if you're wearing something too kinky like... a gray sweater dress.

Am I the only one who finds this absurd? This has been a thing for about 2 months now and I've seen like... 2 other people care, total. Doesn't that defeat the point of a content label in the first place? Why would you filter out the stuff that's presumably SFW? Doesn't that inherently frame the whole concept of femininity in men as a fetish? I'm honestly considering deactivating my account because of this because this is a SFW cross-dressing blog and I am clearly not welcome. I don't want to give my posts frivolous content warnings because that's A. Lying and B. Will be seen as consent to engage with me in fetishes I am not interested in.
