Alyssa Mercante’s attempt to boast about raising $20,000 for Trans Lifeline has backfired spectacularly, revealing serious issues with the charity she promoted. On Saturday Night Hypnosis, Mercante disrupted the stream to flaunt her fundraising success, but this exposure has unearthed troubling details about the charity's operations.
Trans Lifeline, the charity Mercante championed, has been criticized for its opaque and questionable practices. Despite claiming to support trans individuals, the organization operates a “call center” with part-time staff and executives earning six-figure salaries while the hotline workers receive no pay. The service only functions Monday to Friday from 10am to 6pm, significantly limiting its availability compared to traditional hotlines.
Moreover, Trans Lifeline has been accused of actively undermining traditional crisis hotlines and advocating for controversial policies like paying to release trans individuals from prison and opposing police involvement. This stance extends to discouraging individuals in crisis from seeking help through traditional channels if they can't get through to Trans Lifeline.
Mercante’s dramatic appearance on @RealHypnotic1’s stream to boast about her fundraising efforts seems more about self-promotion than genuine support. Most of the donations came from industry insiders who felt pressured to contribute, underscoring Mercante’s questionable motivations. Her history of attacking critics, including her venomous interactions with The Quartering, further highlights her pattern of using social causes for personal gain.
