Tumblr's a blog site. I think it's kinda the modern equivalent of Live Journal. Though admittedly ... most people don't write as much as I do.

(Pssst... blowingsterek.tumblr.com in case you want it  ;))

Anyways, it's all to do with the marketing strategy or... lack thereof. Tumblr relies heavily on network externality, meaning it doesn't spend a lot on trying to push it into a demographic. It just sort of let it fall where it wanted. So, I suppose it fell into the FtM crowd more than it did the MtF crowd.

Following! I ... honestly my blog is mostly written for cisgender people as most of the people following mine currently are cisgender heterosexual gamers who are friends or acquaintances I've made over the years playing MMOs. So I'd love to hear what other transgender people think of what I'm saying.

Susan's is great, and I definitely come here every day, especially if I have something to ask or talk about that I don't feel cisgender people will understand. What I like about tumblr, is it allows me to educate cisgender people, and most on tumblr are willing to listen. I also use it to just chat with some of my more geeky cisgender friends who also happen to be on tumblr. They cheer for me every bit as people do here when it comes to my transition, and I've also gotten several of them to start speaking up for us and standing up for our cause. Tumblr's not perfect, but its got its uses. ^_^

Granted ... most of the people on tumblr are younger than myself.

Be careful with that, folks.   Lots of pervs and creeps lurking there.  I know one transwoman who had to shut hers down and run screaming because of getting stalked in person.

Mostly you just reblog stuff, but you can add to it to which is basically a reply. People can also do asks which is like allowing comments.

There are lots of pervs and creeps anywhere trans women go... anywhere women go really...

I think it's because there seems to be more of a sense of community and togetherness and non-competition that is just plain lacking in the MTF community. I used to go to this group and the one facilitator wanted to have hand signals with me so she could step in and stop people from interrupting me when speaking. One FTM there brought up once how the MTFs could just be plain rude and he was pretty pissed. His problem was that several MTFs would hint that FTMs weren't real men which is just ignorant.

Maybe it's just me and I don't fit in anywhere but I wondered this too why tumblr seemed teeming with FTMs, but completely lacking an MTF presence. Or maybe there is just a diary vibe to tumblr that FTMs, having been socialized as a girls, feel okay writing in that style, whereas MTFs, socialized as boys, just don't journal. I write in my own journal, so I don't tumble (is that the right verb?). Also, it seems younger and I'm 30-(2 ugh), so there's that. The average age of an MTF is something like 45. So even though I feel super old and decrepit, I still started transtion significantly younger than the vast majority of MTFs. Moreover, I went to J-school, which is 75 percent writing based, and it basically felt like I was going to a girl's school.

Just my observations.

I'm very careful on line. I don't post any pictures of myself at all and don't give out personal information about myself that would allow someone to find me. I'm pretty cavalier on susan's, and even here I'm pretty careful. But thank you for the heads up.
