But if those self proclaimed allies don't LISTEN when someone they say they want to help says "No, that's not true, that's offensive", I have to doubt their sincerity. And believe me, I wish it was such a tiny little problem.

Exactly. I might like to give folk who consider themselves allies the benefit of a doubt, but I hate and very nearly want them to fuck off once they start with, "Oh, so you mean I can't talk about this now, is that it? I'm not allowed to have opinions???" or whatever other bullshit that tries to paint themselves as completely in the right with whatever misguided junk they want to spout.

Yes! Exactly! It's like anything else. If you're willing to listen and learn, welcome! Awesome! Great to see you! But if you're going to act as if someone is oppressing you for saying "No. That's not how it works"... well, get your activist merit badge somewhere else.

Christ, this is why I can't stand other queer activists.

This is not a real problem, and half the time I see this it's someone spewing some dumb shit, an ally rightly pointing out they're wrong, and them getting their knickers in a twist. Identity politics r dum yo.

Right. What color is the sky in your world?

Being told I'm not REALLY queer by a straight person is bullshit. Just as it would be if another LBGT* person said it. If I call them out on that and get a lecture from them, yeah. I'm going to doubt their motives. And it happens all the time if you're outside the binary. So, enjoy your corner of the world I guess. Your experience and mine seem to differ greatly.

I am outside the binary.

Let me guess, this is you failing to understand passing privilege right?

No, I'm well aware of passing privilege. I've been on both sides of it. This is me saying that one person's experience not being exactly like yours does not mean it's not legitimate.

Have a nice evening.

are they really an ally if they say that?

I mean, really?
