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& #39;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& #39;re just reproducing the very cultures that rejected us in the first place, & continue to do so, & for what? all the sw& #39;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)
