Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

I'd be interested to know why they thought that too. Not sure why that's a bad thing
I'd smile and be flattered initially and then I also would ask why. Isn't seeking to understand, a natural thing to do? We ask why about lots of things and it isn't an issue. I bet they asked themselves that question too cuz it means their gaydar sucks.
I was 5'5", shy, nerdy, never had a girlfriend, and got asked if I was gay a lot. Then for unrelated reasons, I as an adult actually did transition to female and even married a guy. The same types that bullied me for being effeminate as a kid now tell me I'll never be a real woman.
