Padlet Question by Lydia https://padlet.com/lydghide/xfia42mmuurlxk3s Does this TikTok prioritize community-building or engagement with mainstream audiences? How can you tell? en-us 2025-02-21 18:53:41 UTC 2025-02-24 16:01:00 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/lydghide/xfia42mmuurlxk3s/wish/3340517959 Trans Dad was very much community based, answering educational questions and creating space for other trans people to learn.


Blonde woman was very much trying for mainstream engagement, with stitching a video, conventionally attractive / all done up makeup wise, and trying to create discourse surrounding current trans topics popular in the news such as "parental rights" very much appealing to the cis masses as the "good trans"

But faces a lack of viewership because of this.
