If you thought you were a true ally, maybe it’s time for some introspection.

Can you be transphobic and be an ally?
I know the answer you’re aiming for is “no” but…
If someone has some problematic ideas, but when push comes to shove, they will stand between a trans comrade and a barrage of police impact munitions, are they not an ally?
This isn’t a just some far off hypothetical, either it’s a real situation that I witnessed first hand in Portland multiple times. It’s a big part of why I get so upset by these struggle sessions, because they remind me of some of the fights that ripped that movement apart.
