howdy folks I was having a lovely month off social media when I received an email that my 10-yr-old main blog (rabbits-of-negative-euphoria) had been terminated for hate speech (I have never and will never post anything hateful), so I have made an appeal and now await an answer. sigh

I’m going to fight this. Through Tumblr’s channels or not, I’m going to fight this. Goodnight.

@rabbits-of-negative-euphoria @staff

This is the text of the appeal I sent:

My blog has been terminated on the basis of a quotation by Michael Knowles I posted which was wrongly labeled as encouraging, promoting, or inciting violence or “hatred of, or dehumanizing, individuals or groups based on race, ethnic or national origin, religion, gender, gender identity, age, veteran status, sexual orientation, disability, or disease.” The post did no such thing; it was a valid critique of an abstract idea in the proverbial marketplace, not any one person or group of persons. As you may read, the Knowles quotation expresses compassion and empathy for the very group I have been accused of maligning. I have run this blog for 10 years without any T&S censures leveled against me in all that time. Please correct this error and reinstate it.

and this is the quotation for which my blog was terminated:

“For the good of society, and especially for the good of the poor people who have fallen prey to this confusion, transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely.”

I posted it by itself with no commentary. They are not my words, they are the words of one of America’s most popular commentators at the third biggest political event in the nation. Even if it could be called hate speech (it cannot), it would not be my speech.

And Tumblr should know, as a social media platform with over 100 million active monthly users, there is a bill currently in the Texas House that will make this kind of censorship against a Texas citizen such as myself illegal.
