#transgatekeeping

I'm honestly confused and upset right now. I tried to join the community @@trans-rights, but the moderator (@blintzestein) refused me three times, without explanation — and now I've been blocked.

I'm new to Tumblr and I really don't understand what I did wrong. What do I have to prove to be accepted as trans in a trans community? This kind of gatekeeping is hurtful and disappointing.

If there's a reason for this, I’d really appreciate an explanation.
