Allyship rule (sh.itjust.works)

ID: Drawing of a duck billed platypus underwater, they're wearing a rainbow coloured t shirt and a pink bum-bag, and saying: "Ally is not something you can self-identify as, it's a title that you earn. Let your actions speak for themselves!"

When trying to learn more you have to approach certain subjects with a lot of care. Something which you probably haven't been doing or doing very well if you've been accused of being a transphobe a lot. I'm not saying there aren't awful people who throw those accusations around, I've certainly met a few, but the majority are not like that, so if you have been called a transphobe a lot you've probably not been approaching the subject with care and sensitivity.

Also almost if not all allies are cisgender, that's what an ally is it's someone who isn't part of the group who is advocating for the rights and safety of the group. Honestly saying that cis people won't be allies is nonsense.

This comment is honestly extremely disrespectful.
