Gay Art Censorship on social media
More artists are running into censorship on Facebook and Twitter. Twitter merely marks a person’s Twitter as unsafe, but you aren’t banned. Facebook bans content and suspends individuals. Twitter is still better than Facebook.
Gays need to own their social media. I have a short essay on this after the following images. I am going to talk about having a Substack newsletter in a later article.
They reversed their ban when I complained.
However, quirk is still having this censorship.

We need to own our own social media.
Grindr was sold for $600 million last time. What gives Grindr its value, Gay men. Gays on Facebook are part of the general population which gives it value.
While Gays give value to these platforms in response, these platforms give Gays bannings, suspensions, and lecturing.
These things are just software code. If we had a club that owned these things, the value could be used to benefit us.
We would have to have an organizational structure where it was run by members and from the bottom up to make sure some elite group didn’t capture the platform for their own agenda.
I don’t know exactly how to move forward on this.
One thing I think we need before we have a Gay social media platform or new organizing is defining who we are and what a general operating plan for the Gay community should be and a general operating plan for being Gay.
An essay which analytically looks at the purpose of initialism.
What I like about this essay, is that the author sees how initialism has its agendas and how it works to manage sexual minorities. He isn’t just whining about some particular thing, but is attempting a systematic analysis.
I am not saying I agree with everything in the essay or everything he writes, so don’t complain to me. What I am wanting people to see is that we need to look at things and critically analyze what is involved.
Catchup post of local Dallas Postings.
Some of the issues in these posts, are issues Gays face most everywhere in their localities. Having a local newsletter is a good way to gain influence. My readership steadily climbs.
I am not sure whether future posts will just be put in this catch-all post and then I will have a link for this catch-all post or whether I will still individually post my Dallas items in this newsletter. Or I might do both.
I will put some links to some more Dallas posts made after this last post at the end of this newsletter.
TikTok feeds stealth transmen into your feed. How to deal with it. UPDATE 1.
If you want transman videos, that is your choice and you can skip over this section.
However, if you are using Tiktok to see men, the Tiktok algorithm feeding you transmen is an annoyance. The following is how to respond to getting transmen in your feed.
I will be scrolling through my feed on TikTok and watching dancing and the various jokes and commentaries on Gay life, then I will come across a TikToker and something will be “off” about it.
I will look through the profile and I will discover that it is likely a transman trying to pass themselves off as a Gay man. Sometimes they are upfront about being trans. In that case, I have NO problem with the Tiktoker, who is living their life and not being stealth. I am little annoyed though with the Tiktok algorithm which sent me a “Gay” transman.
Mostly they are stealth though. With filters and other image manipulations it might not be easy to see that they are transmen, but review of all their pictures will have one or two that reveal the person to be a transman.
You won’t see the scars where the breasts were removed. With make up and algorithms that can be hidden.
Sometimes they wear what are called “packers,” which is something they put in their pants to make it look like they have a penis. Previously, one of the giveaways of a transman was that they would avoid photos of themselves just wearing briefs or swimsuits. A lot of times they would be wearing bulky clothing to obscure things also, like hip size. Now you see briefs and swimsuits with packers.
Actually, the swimsuit pictures with packers are sort of a giveaway.
It used to be that you could block the content of that person on Tiktok, but now you only not like that particular video.
The issue is that you will be wasting a lot of time investigating and you joined Tiktok for fun, not for investigations of things that you don’t want to see.
So, this is the simplified flow chart for dealing with transmen on TikTok.
Update: Some stealth is fairly good.
Your feel something is “off,” then dislike the video.
If anything is the least bit off or you can’t definitely tell it is a guy, then don’t like their video or follow them.
If the person is boasting or showing off their butt as a hot item, look at them closely for what is in their pants upfront, or how often do they wear underwear or light fabric shorts. They might be showing off their female butt as some well endowed male butt.
The whole Gay transman thing is mostly a thing in the English speaking world, including Latinos in the English speaking world.
Yes, the above is the entire method. Update: Added steps.
The Update is this. Let say you are getting a fair number of “Gay” transmen showing up. Likely you are following a Gay transman or have been liking their Tiktoks. Start looking at who you are looking at, a transman has slipped through.
You might say, “What if he isn’t really trans?” So what? Consider the following:
1. You are missing out on viewing interesting content because you are wasting time checking out what makes a certain Tiktok “off.” There are hundreds, if not thousands, of hot guys and interesting Gays on Tiktok. Just move on to them. The loss of one person that might have been really a Gay man isn’t important and it is likely it is a person who is stealth anyways.
2. You felt something about the person was “off,” how enjoyable are this person Tiktoks anyways? Do you want to see more of this person’s TikToks that feel “off”?
3. Real Gay men know how their videos come across. They aren’t going to have videos that leave you in doubt. If they do have videos that leave you in doubt purposely, you don’t want to view them anyways.
4. If you mistakenly heart a transman, likely more transman content is going to be fed to you. You can’t take the risk unless you want to have your feed laden with transmen.
5. Don’t scroll past, make sure you block an “off” video. You need to be pro-active in getting transmen videos not fed to you. The person with the video you know is “off” this time, might have a video that fools you the next time.
So again:
Your feel something is “off,” then dislike the video.
