Hello, Tumblr. I've never posted here, only lurked. But this is one of the most important things in the world to me, and I honestly need to ask you for help. Please reblog if you can.

This will be a long post. It will be summarized with a TLDR at the end, including ways that you can help.

With over 9,200 pages, we are the biggest collection of gender identities on the Internet, especially the biggest source that is readily available. We are a community that has existed since 2009, and has taken off in terms of growth in the last few years.

Today, Fandom decided to close the Gender Wiki. We were given absolutely no warning, and they've only given us a two-week deadline to move the entire wiki to a new host, which we are utterly unprepared to do. The download would also not include any of the 17,000+ images on the Gender Wiki, many of which do not exist anywhere else on the Internet.

Here is a link to the post Fandom staff gave us today, and a paraphrased summary of it below:

https://gender.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000132176

Fandom staff says that they won't continue to host our wiki because it "spreads harmful misinformation". They believe we have gone too far in "positioning everything as a gender identity", referring to xenogenders. They mention pages with xenogenders referring to suicide/self-harm and violence --- which we, the staff members, were /already/ in the process of deleting before this notice was given to us. They decided that the best solution was not to ask us to delete those pages, or even delete the pages themselves, but instead to remove our entire database.

There are many other wikis on Fandom with much worse references to violence than the Gender Wiki, which Fandom appears to have no problem with whatsoever.

I cannot express enough that this is erasure, and it will absolutely negatively affect the LGBTQ+ community to not have this treasure trove of information readily available.

I am an admin on the Gender Wiki, and I can assure you that our entire staff team is already trying to appeal to Fandom staff. I'll add any updates if they decide to respond to us, but they have no yet given staff any more information than the above

PLEASE help in any way you can. Reblog, spread awareness, or sign this petition if you have a Fandom account, OR sign this petition instead if you don't --- please DON'T sign both, as this causes counting problems & can make the point seem less legitimate. (NOTE added Apr 1: The archiving project is on hold because we've lost the archiving site for an unknown reason. Pages don't Archive correctly. I will update soon with more info.) Archive any Gender Wiki pages, especially ones that don't have pages elsewhere, with the Wayback Machine or alternatively archive.is, or even write posts about them here or on other sites. Archives will be organized on this spreadsheet; please include the archiving site you used so they can be found later. Please help us save this information. It can't possibly be done this quickly without help.

TLDR: Fandom staff decided that, in two weeks, they will close the Gender Wiki, the biggest gender resource on the Internet. They gave us no warning. It will be impossible to save all of the information on the wiki. Please reblog or sign this petition if you have a Fandom account, OR this one if you don't (please don't sign both, it'll cause problems). Help save the data by archiving pages here or here (organized on this spreadsheet). (NOTE added Apr 1: archiving project currently on hold. Archiving sites aren't working.) Help spread awareness. Post about this with #save the gender wiki

I saw this on Facebook today. I always thought neurodivergent could be used as a medical term.

This user is claiming that terfs are stupid and that TIMs should be included in female-only spaces since they're "women". I disagreed and provided reasons in an anon ask they gave me. This user then ignored logic and continued to weakly argue with me, even saying that I have more privilege than a TIM, "No you pretend women are men just to keep some privilege"

Be SO fr. TIMs are not the victims; they are the oppressors.

So anyway, since I must repeting myself : trans women are women. Biologist that have studied the subject know that : genetically trans people are similar to their gender not to the gender that was assigned to them at birth (a study among a lot of other). But I will not eleborate on that, because debatting with a transphobes who ignore science and Logic don't interest me.

What is more interesting is the "argument" you use to avoid the debat "I don't care about trans people I just want to protect women". I could say that it's a very bad lie since it's very easy to read your blog and see you don't care about women and are just here to attack trans women but that's not the point. The point is that your trying to weaponise feminism to excuse your transphobia and that's despicable. Trans women aren't a threat to other women the only "proof" that transphobes have is a grotesque deformation of a part of a study. All other study show that allowing all women to acceed to women space doesn't increase violence, and there are a lot of proof that law that pretend to "protect cis women" are in fact harmful to all cis women that aren't stereotypically feminine. You know that, all transphobes know that. But you still try to pretend you care about women, not because it's true, not even before you sincerely believe it's true but because it's a strategy. Using the fact that you are a victim, but lying about the threat to attack another group. Racist white women do that to harass black people and immigrant, you do that about trans people. And like these women choose to ignore there are also women of color, you choose to ignore trans men and non binary people because if you acknoledge their existence your discourse doesn't hold.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

DO NOT TRUST ANY GOFUNDME OR REQUEST FOR CROWDFUNDING THAT PALESTINIAN BLOGGERS HAVEN'T VERIFIED.

At this point I'm fine receiving a bunch of inbox messages asking me to vet x y z so y'all can avoid this shit. But please have some critical thinking!

Whether you wanna read the whole thing or not idc.

REBLOG IT.

Some autistic people don't and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life. Some autistic people do need constant help and support and that shouldn't make them less worthy of life.

Once again we're falling in the right wing trap of :

They make a hateful, fascist statement

Instead of focusing on the fact that it is hateful and fascist we try to show them that they are factually wrong

We throw our own allies and the most vulnerable of us under the bus in the process

We legitimise an only slightly less hateful, fascist view as we go

They have completed their goal of making us accept the still hateful, fascist second version, hurrah. What a victory.

Right now what we're getting to with that is that autistic people who can work and pay taxes are okay, and the others aren't. Fuck this shit.

What RFK is saying: "Autistic people can't work, so it's our duty as a society to erase autism" -> This is eugenics

Harmful response: "Many autistic people do work!" -> Validates the belief that that someone being unable to work is shameful and makes them a lesser person, and implies that autistic people should not need support

The moral of the story is not “don’t have a revolution,” it’s that you should always be suspicious of those who promise you this utopian idea of freedom while still aiming to maintain power. The pigs never wanted to actually make everyone free, they just wanted to be the ones in charge. The novel details every small instance of the farm sliding further and further into fascism until it’s too late for anyone to do anything about it.

And 1984 doesn’t have much to do with communism at all. It’s about totalitarianism and fascism. There’s nothing pro-capitalist about the book. A totalitarian government like Big Brother’s could exist in either a capitalist or communist society. The point is the control they have over their people, and how important the flow of information is to that control.

Their attack, which took place on 27 March 1943, was partially successful, and they managed to destroy 800,000 identity cards, and retrieve 600 blank cards and 50,000 guilders. The building was blown up and no one was caught on the night of the attack. However, due to an unknown betrayer, Arondéus was arrested on 1 April 1943. Arondéus refused to give up the rest of his team.

Arondéus was openly gay before the war and defiantly asserted his sexuality before his execution. His final words were:

"Tell the people that homosexuals are not by definition weak."

Dani Davis, a Walmart employee, says she was fired from her job of seven years after a harrowing encounter in the women’s restroom during a shift. Davis says a man entered the bathroom and yelled slurs, apparently mistaking her for a trans woman based solely on her height. She reported the incident to her immediate supervisor but was fired less than a week later, with Walmart citing a “security risk.”

This is the environment TERFs and transphobes and conservatives (but I repeat myself) have created: any woman can be subjected to fear and harassment for even the slightest perceived deficit of femininity and cowardly corporations will do nothing to protect the safety of their own employees. In fact, they'll just make the problem employee - the victim - disappear, just to be safe.

It’s an actual radicalisation pipeline that immediately serves you the most vile transphobia the second you are supportive of women and speak out against misogyny. This leads to patriarchal, anti-feminist and reactionary thought being shown to women in a feminist coat of paint furthering the oppression of women out here in real life (including y‘all „biological“ women!!).

Sadly this problem is one of people living in a parallel world where facts and reality don’t exist and can only be mitigated by effective moderation of misinformation by staff. As long as TERFs can freely lie and cite debunked studies (sometimes by the study authors themselves like the crime study) things will get worse for everyone.

Remember this every time a new drama comes out about staff banning trans people (especially women) unfairly while TERFs regularly send death threats and organise harassment campaigns without any repercussions. Tumblr‘s staff and moderation team is not only favouring TERFs, it is actively trying to make more of them.

i actually think its pretty cool

I made another analysis post of sorts because this is something that bugs me a lot. Over the years, I’ve seen so many people treat this quote as something equivalent to saying “you’re not allowed to cry, ever” when that’s just not true! Lemme explain why.
