The following is a list of topics that I will discuss in this article I am putting together regarding allies and allyship. The focus of the article will be on how allies tend to harm and further set back queer, transgender*, and gender non-conforming folks’ efforts and why.
Topics:
- Spreading Misinformation and Lies
- Appropriating the Word Queer and Privilege Denying
- Prioritising Struggles Involving the Queer Communities
- Derailing Queer, Trans*, and Gender Non-Conforming Discussions
- Infiltrating Safe Spaces and the Harm It Causes
- Turning Every Interaction With Queer, Trans*, and Gender Non-Conforming People into A Case Study
- Giving False Hopes in the Guise of Allyship
- Tone Policing Queer, Trans*, Gender Non-Conforming Folks Who Are Being Oppressed
- Guilting Folks Who Do Not Want Your Help
- Taking Part in Things Like Ally Week, Ally Pride, Ally Scholarships, and Other Bull Shit Excuses To Pat Yourself on the Back
- Dismissing Intersectionality and Excluding Race in Queer Issues
- Expecting and Demanding Help From Queer, Trans*, and Gender Non-Conforming People Whenever YOU Need To
That way, I can just link them instead of having to take their hand and show them why they are not helping every time they ask me.
This post shall include the following topics involving self-proclaimed allies:
- the spreading of misinformation and lies
- how I am not your fucking case study
- safe space infiltration and how it causes harm
- derailment of queer and trans* discussions
- false hope giving (i.e. the It Gets Better campaign and any event or group created by an ally ever)
- tone-policing and why you are an asshole if you do that
- how guilting queer, trans*, and gender non-conforming folks who do not want your help makes you an even bigger asshole
- ally week, ally pride, ally scholarships, and other bull shit excuses to pat yourself on the back
- intersectionality - what it is and why it is important
- expectance of trans* and queer folks to give them answers
- and more
Feel free to reply to this post with more topics, ideas, personal stories, etc. - and/or send me a message. If you have reading material to link to or longer submissions, then please submit them.
Thank you.

And now, here I am - listening to The Agony Scene and filling out a job application to become a writer for the Chicago edition of The Examiner.
If I get the job, I will be writing for their International LGBT issues, transgender/transsexual issues, or human rights sections.
At the moment, I am filling out the last portion of the application which requires you to either submit one of your past article pieces or write a brand new one. I decided to write a new one which will discuss the trans* community and the military.
Wish me luck, folks!! Thank you.
Sincerely,
P.S. If any of my trans* friends out there are either currently in the military or thinking about joining the military, please contact me with your story!! (Anonymously or not). As always, your privacy will be respected.
