#TransDayOfVisibility

Love and support trans people of all kinds, especially yourself. Each and every single one of you matters, however much society might try to tell us otherwise. This is just as true regardless of whether or not you're "visible"

Not everyone wants to be visible! And even of those of us that are, not everyone wants or is even able to be an activist. Not everyone is ready or safe to come out.

But that doesn't make you any less valid, nor any less important.

so my best pal is currently struggling to get together the money to pay for their bills & uni accommodation next year, so if any of y'all could spare anything to an enby in need or signal boost this it'd be a huge help

There's a lot more to do with this, account for relative age of accounts, maybe try and account for the disparity between cis vs trans as well as trans people who were making videos before coming out and how doing so has or hasn't effected their growth

Also the list is white as fuck which sucks as well

In any case I'm taking recommendations for anyone I haven't got on my subs already

If we add together everyone outside of that very top tier, their collective count only comes to 206,618

If we add in roses, who has the lowest number of subscribers of the top four, it only comes to 318,315

Collectively 15 people on this list have less subscribers than any one of the top three, 16 of them still less than the top two

It's a really stark gap and speaks volumes to the difference in visibility and how exposure begets exposure

So like I've been trying to put expand my subscriptions list and find more not-guys doing media analysis, and I've put together an alright selection

But in the midst of doing so I started thinking about the stark disparity in visibility and the subscriber counts of them all

So I broke it down, grouped them all by total digits and then began adding them up

you know, it's a weird decision for Blizzard to add Dr Hamsterviel from Lilo and Stitch to Overwatch, but it is also entirely predictable that if they were going to add a L&S character it'd be the whitest one

Holy fuck this is horrific

And you can guarantee outcry from Autistic people won't get any spotlight from these awful rags

me: "you're really getting into talking to Niamh about enchantments"

her: "actually we're talking about magic now"

me: "mmmmm"

her, raising her voice: "THERE'S A DIFFERENCE, OKAY??"
