When I started at Aberdeen, so many students told me on my first day that they were allies, had trans friends, etc. then proceeded to be the worst perpetrators, and told me I needed to "set a better example as a trans person" if I wanted allies to respect me

the reason I don’t say I’m an “ally” in my bio is because it’s not up to me. marginalized people aren’t looking for declarative statements, they’re looking for action & evidence. they know who their allies are.
