I'm a trans woman

This is a virtue signal to you, but it's my *life*

I have a reason to care about my rights, unlike you who just pretends to support us when convenient

Should we not all be allies to each other? Or am I less than?

ellismacvey.bsky.social•98 days ago

You are not my ally. You pretend to support trans rights until push comes to shove, then it becomes really obvious that you don't actually care what happens to people like me.

What is push comes to shove? I'm not saying she shouldn't have that right. I'm saying when you're on a hill alone like literally the only one then maybe don't die on that hill right now. She is literally alone in the house not one other trans person to second a motion or anything.

Why is she alone on the hill? Is it because fair weather allies like you don't support us when push comes to shove?

You're the white moderate MLK described in his Letter from Birmingham Jail, but for trans rights

If you actually support us, listen when we criticize you

I wish she wasn't alone. I wish they were all like Bernie but they are not and that's the reality.

I want to turn this around. We are arguing and we shouldn't be.

I am sorry. I am not trying to be rude and I got a upset and I shouldn't have. I understand why you would be very upset right now.

Thank you

why is it that only another trans person in congress should fight for the protections of transgender people in this context?

you’re extremely funnily proving the point here.

gayopossumkvlt.bsky.social•98 days ago

like damn.

if only there were other people in congress that like to holler platitudes about queer people that could possibly stand on the hill with her! too bad there aren’t. oh well.

consider not being a fair weather ally and we will not be fair weather allies to you

Allyship is defined by solidarity; applauding a singular minority for abrogating defense of the rights of other members of that minority because of some valorization of "civility" is not solidarity, it's tokenism

if you try to speak on trans issues, and a bunch of trans people are telling you to shut the fuck up, you should probably shut the fuck up. that's what being an ally looks like. don't try to make yourself the victim in this. if you didn't give your needless input, nobody would have responded.

you are a cis white man. you do not need allies.
