Today is trans day of visibility, so I would like to post a few reminders:
*Trans people need support all year long.
*This holiday is to celebrate trans people.
*Trans people are wonderful.
*Outing people without consent? DON’T!
*Appreciate trans people for who we are.
*Remember that we are human beings.
*A trans person being an asshole, although that needs to be called out, is no excuse for misgendering or deadnaming someone.
*There’s no excuse for misgendering or deadnaming, except if the trans person is closeted and not ready to come out to certain people.
*Don’t confuse fetishization with love.
*Even trans people have internalized transphobia, therefore do listen when called out, and do consciously fight against it.
*Transphobia is structural, there’s no equivalent for cis people because they don’t face this kind of oppression.
*Remember that transphobia, and also transmisogyny, can intersect with other forms of oppression, like racism or ableism.
*If you have cis privilege use it to support trans people.
*Correct pronouns and name are equally important whether or not the trans person is there to listen.
*Reblog our selfies if you can? That’d be nice.
*Do listen to trans people and do your learning.
*Google is a wonderful tool so use it.
*Trans people are amazing.
*Thank you for existing.

Your familiar friend for talking about posts is rolling out over the next few days, and it’s learned a ton since it’s been away. Now replies let you:
Reply multiple times to a post.
Reply to your own posts.
See all of a post’s replies in one place.
Decide who can and can’t reply to you. (It’s in your blog settings.)
All that adds up to being able to talk about a post, right inside of a post, even as it travels from Tumblr to Tumblr. So, starting with posts created today, you’ll see a new notes view to help you follow that conversation. Looook:
If you’ve been waiting for this, thanks for your patience. If you’re new to replies, come discover their unique flavor. Spicier than a like, sweeter than a reblog, served on a big family-style platter. All part of a balanced diet. Have fun replying, Tumblr.
