Re: Why do people hate allies so much?

re: your first point - i didn't mean it necessary like that. more so i meant that if someone acts in favour of someone else but ONLY does it for themselves, and their benefiting of others only happens to be a side effect of that, then it's fucked up.

"I would always, ALWAYS take a well-meaning, if a little self-absorbed, ally over an actual bigot."
i think most of us would?? that's a compromise when faced with two shitty options though imo.

i'm pansexual and trans so i understand what you mean about internal ignorance within the lgbt community and there's no excusing that but saying that ignorance is bred within lgbt folks doesn't excuse the ignorance in straight/cis people.

"Ignorance is not necessarily malicious"
you're right but it often leads to harmful thoughts or actions done in ignorance. and when allies come into our spaces, spaces meant to be safe for us, in order to "help" us but often end up making our spaces unsafe or uncomfortable, then they need to back off. eagerness to help is not always a virtue, depending on how its handled. i prefer to surround myself, in these spaces, with people who share my experiences, not people who are analysing them from an outside perspective and trying to understand.
