What Is A True Ally?

"Show up on a local palpable level for the people in your life who matter to you. A good ally is someone who knows how to speak, how to be heard, but also how to listen." This is how YOU can be a true ally.

Thankfully all the people around me are straight so no allyship needed

These Young Cats are right and I agree with the prospects.
We need to step up our activism if we want a better equality future for all

Ally for what? You all don't need help doing anything. You are just regular people that have trouble keeping your personal business to yourself. You all have to realize that being offended about everything hinders your own life. Be you and stop searching for validity from people who really don't care. When you depend on others to tell you who are, you'll always have a rude awakening!

What the social justice crowd doesn't understand is that an alliance is a mutual arrangement. "allyship" is a one sided concept.

So... Allyship is virtually identical to religions' concept of original sin, where one must repent, confess and atone for a chance at ultimate forgiveness for something they never chose for? What's next, your little klan of ideologues culturally appropriating hell itself from them as well?

[beesbrownies]

That's not allies, that's homophobes? And transphobes? The criticism parts
