it hurts a lotta the girls who dont win & dont receive the same attention. those of us who are just as attention starved but arent allowed into the clout club watch everyone who is & it only reinforces the feelings of *even our trans sisters not liking us*
people get lost & rejected/dejected too often. despite, at least for me, luckily having enough self-esteem & confidence now not to need it. & the winners forget the losers quite quickly & then dump on them (or ignore them) for being jealous or incapable or not worth a response.
either explicitly or implicitly. all of this undermines the idea that the culture of supposed support on here is about anything authentic or nontoxic. i certainly dont fault ppl for doing what they want or need but the facts on the ground are a cutthroat shitheap that we ignore
there's far more faux lifting up constantly, & enormous disdain/irony from large accts, than there ever is getting funding for black trans sisters or emotional support for those who are in dire straights.
we're just reproducing the very cultures that rejected us in the first place, & continue to do so, & for what? all the sw's amongst us, go get your money babes, but otherwise? wtf.

partially this is a major function of the structure of this medium.
it enforces extrovert/introvert divides & strengthens them in toxic ways.

anyway, done being a whiny little bitch, which is how, presumably, anyone with clout would take these tweets (cause they have - the jaded irony of online poisoning is most gross when handwaved away)
