A few dozen of those are transpeople and one thing is consistent with them, and that's there's are turnover of them, new ones but mostly discontinued ones, which if you watch them for awhile, the reasons are simple.
Their transition is over and they're legally female. They have nothing more to say about being trans.
They got a job and don't want their employer finding their Tumblr page about them and their tastes.
They got bullied into leaving by too many anonymous people asking offensive questions.
They simply got tired of talking about their life and expressing their views on trans issues.
Or they realized revealing themselves so much on a social media Website is really stupid.
And they disappear from Tumblr. I not only can't blame them, I agree with them and don't recommend any transperson posting so much, often with photos, about their life. Sharing is one thing, sharing with the whole world is another.
I subscribe to the view that any transperson should simply say when asked about their transition, "It's personal and private, and not open for public discussion." If you want to talk about trans issues, fine, be vocal, even outspoken.
Talk about anything else but not your life unless you want to become public transperons and a target, because I guarrantee there will be a time you wished you hadn't and you can't hide it or take it back, it's been reblogged.
Just my observation on Tumblr.
