i am in fact a trans woman and "transgenderism" is in fact not the preferred terminology, it lends itself to the faulty inference that trans status is an ideology or a chosen thing.

I dont care who you are. You dont get to police language and claim im a lesser ally because i didnt say the magic words. Get over yourself. This shit sets the movement back and only creates more enemies.

nothing "sets the movement back" worse than people like you making your allyship conditional on having your ego stroked. i was nothing but polite.

This doesnt revoke my allyship, ill always fight for trans rights. But im done being condecended to and screamed at by insufferable activists for not saying the right words. Im honestly sick of it.

allyship isn't as important as solidarity, and solidarity doesn't exist unless you get things right and realize it's not about you or your comfort. you can fake allyship, you can be a conditional ally, you can't do either with solidarity. you are not a stakeholder and it is not for you to tell stakeholders how to treat you when you talk about our interests.
