If the post above doesn’t singularly explain in one mere sentence how entirely fucked up tumblr is, then I don’t know what does.  You couldn’t ask for a better demonstration.

For far too many people, joining tumblr is like walking into a social clothing store, and picking out the latest fads to wear to “fit in” and feel “special”.

You don’t need other people to tell you how to think, or what to be.  And you sure as hell shouldn’t be glamorizing persecution and oppression, nor should you be lowering the value of suffering, just so you can apply it to yourselves for your own, sad little game of “Who’s the biggest victim?”. 

This “social justice” bullshit has already driven away over seven million users, and made tumblr a disastrous investment for Yahoo, because they can’t get any advertisers to touch it with a ten-foot pole.

Also, never forget that the person who first made “die cis scum” into a catch phrase later decided that they were no longer trans, and that it was “just a phase” they had gone through.

It’s one thing to know in your heart who you really are inside.  It’s another thing entirely to appropriate labels out of a desire for popularity, or to make up new reasons to feel “oppressed” just to get attention.  It’s also horribly offensive to those who genuinely are oppressed for their differences.
