Howdy! My name is Erin and I’m a trans woman and I’m here to teach YOU (yes you) how to screen your tumblr dashboard for TERF ACTIVITY. 

What the Radfem Test will do is provide an easy and quick way to prevent yourself from accidentally reblogging and supporting TERFs and their content. Because a lot of it isn’t obviously transphobic, but has a veiled message of transphobic rhetoric. 

STEP 1) Go to your blocked tags list and block the term “radical feminism”. You can also block the phrases “radfem” “TERF safe” and “Radfem safe”.

STEP 2) Whenever a post pops up on your dashboard that was blocked due to these tags, click to see the post, and then go to the OP’s (original poster’s) blog.

STEP 3) Scope out their blog! If their username sounds TERFy (common TERF usernames mention chromosomes, biology, wombyn, womyn, and radfem), you may have a TERF. If their profile mentions being “gender critical” you DEFINITELY have a TERF. If they say they don’t believe in self diagnosis, you’ve got someone who is at the very least TERF adjacent. Be thorough in your checking!

STEP 4) If the OP is a TERF, block them! Keep your dashboard safe for trans people! Be a good ally!

And please, reblog this post! Spread the test far and wide! Help out your trans friends!

Also along with all this, there’s a web extension for chrome and firefox that marks known anti-trans pages as red, and known trans-friendly pages as green. While it’s not an extremely widely used extension (only about 1500 chrome users compared to lets say, xkit which has about 366,000 users) so not everything is marked, it is still fairly helpful for seeing if the op of a post (or people on other platforms, as it also supports reddit, twitter, facebook, and several other various social medias/news outlets) might be transphobic. Also, if you see something that is unmarked you can submit it for review to help expand the database!

hot take: hrt, gender therapy and trans surgeries should be free

if cis people don’t have to pay to have a body that doesn’t make them dysphoric, neither should trans people

So by that logic does that mean that I should get anti-depressants and all the other pills for my mental issues for free because the people who don’t suffer from them don’t have to pay to have them?

yes

And does that mean that corrective lenses should also be free, because people with good vision don’t need to pay to see clearly, and that devices to aid in mobility for people with limited mobility (from crutches to (practical) canes to wheelchairs to prosthetics) should also be free, because people who don’t have limited mobility don’t need to pay for them?

yes? why does everyone in the notes keep trying to come up with gotchas lmao everything to do with healthcare should be free

Then by that logic, healthy food and clean water should be free because without food and water we will die. Also, without water, hygiene will be minimal therefore increasing the chances of disease.

Yes. People should have access to a healthy happy life and the whole point of a society is to support eachother and work together. how brainwashed by capitalism are you to think food and water shouldn’t be free in an ideal world.

this post is such a wild ride every time. ‘so by this logic, people should have free access to the things they need to live and survive?????????’ like yes bitch, all of it !!!
