the social circles reinforce the self-loathing, the terminology just reflects their attitudes. finding a way to alienate other trans people for using "lower class, vulgar words" instead of actually addressing their material conditions is convienent way to insulate yourself
I'm very clearly not reducing them or their pain to the term but saying using those terminologies are basically just like reinforcing their own like self loathing not even commiserating. Like I've seen a lot of ppl just tearing themselves and others down with it
