RE: Transphobic remarks

I’ve been getting a lot of asks/comments regarding this tumblr post, which showcases some of the really nasty comments I got recently, particularly the very transphobic ones.  Do not click this if you are triggered by that sort of thing, it’s really nasty:
http://saccharinescorpion.tumblr.com/post/18259965313

 For those asking, I’m not trans*, but I am an ally. I suspect the reason for all these transphobic remarks is the fact that I list my gender as “Other” on dA.   Given that the vast majority of the bros harassing me there haven’t even a clue who I am, they just made an assumption and tried to attack me on it.

I am sorry for any trans* folks who saw these comments on my page and were triggered by them. I try my best to make all my blogs safe spaces for everyone, and it’s really a shame that some bronies value fictional characters over the feelings of real people.  I honestly don’t even know how such heartless, cruel people can enjoy a show like “My Little Pony.”

It’s also a shame that DeviantArt continues to allow this sort of harassment, when they could quite easily implement the option to turn off comments on your profile.  So much drama could be avoided.

  11. ospreysoul said: I love how so many bronies are shrieking, “It’s not offensive to retards[sic]!” Obviously Hasbro thought so. Do they really, truly think that one person could make a company edit an episode? Or that the company would if there wasn’t something WRONG?
