Huge TERF following you have, huh? Wonder why that is.
I assume you're referring to the results on this poll.
Respectfully, the way tumblr works is that when a post is reblogged, it ends up getting seen by people who do not follow the OP.
In the first day of that poll going live, the last option made up a very low percentage, around 1.5–2%. After circulating for 6 days, that percentage is obviously much higher. What that indicates to me is that the 2% is most likely more representative of people who saw the post directly from this blog, while the inflated number came after that 2% reblogged the post into their circles/TERFS who follow other rebloggers got hold of it.
TERFs in particular seem to get a lot of enjoyment out of reblogging/commenting on pro-trans and/or anti-terf posts, either to pose as the victim or to make fun of the posts. (Or both.) They love to hate. It's a game to them, and that's why it seems unusually weighted– they have more fun kicking a post like that around, as opposed to everyone else whose additions are less "interesting" comments (meaning less likely to spark further engagement) like "no I haven't" or "yeah once, ugh."
A large number of the non-terf votes are also likely from people who wouldn't want to reblog that poll anyway (for a multitude of reasons), which comparatively lessens the poll's reach among the people who think like them.
Regardless of the reason for the high percentage on that poll, I would hope that my track record would speak for me here. You can take a look through a variety of topics and posts that should more or less communicate my stance. As a reminder, I openly state that I modify the text of many submissions; this often involves changing polls to use more inclusive language, but also means that if I wanted to use less inclusive language, I could very easily do so.

Posts in which I speak (for more perspective on how I conduct myself and the values from which I approach this blog)
In particular I will draw your attention to phrases like "people with vaginas," "people who menstruate," "people with penises," and terms like LGBTQ and queer. These are terms I deliberately add to polls (when relevant) if they are not already phrased that way; and generally speaking, these are not terms/phrases that terfs use. Every time there's a poll using terms like these, there's a terf in the comments complaining about it. I block them when I see them. I don't catch everything– I'm not perfect– but I do what I reasonably can. We support trans people here.

We have ashorter words for these twrms. Woman/ man? That INCLUDE entire population of homosapiens on earth. Can't be more included than 'woman' or are we participating in erasing that word?
Igimagine using 'person with vagine' in real life situation.
"hey. You saw that person with vagina who just passed us?"
Y'all just weird

the violrnt crimes the article mention is overwhelming commited by men. Therefore not TERF as no man can be a terf (a feminist). There being two women doesn't change that statistics. Plus considering your ideology all of them can now identify as woman I guess we can tell it's all these damn women.
But hey. These 5 monsters can also be put on women's prison {3 males). Great!
Stop blaming feminist for male crimes. Not very woman friendly huh?
The assault s on men are overwhelming commited by other men so yall fight among each other away from women's spaces.
Trans people has easier life's when people didn't know what they are. Before men decided they should be in our spaces. Y'all brought this.
"everyone wants to be a feminist until it's time to say something controversial" like you can't change your biological sex😶
rest in peace sam. You were caught up in crossfire. Another sensless violent statistic and being that wanted to just be happy
Horrifying news out of New York. I caution all trans folks to be careful if you look into the circumstances of Sam’s death.
I am so sorry to the entire Black and trans community in Oakdale. You and he both deserve so so much better than this.
(Edited to correct where Sam was from.)
