Centring yourself, talking over, and refusing to listen to the marginalised people whose side you claim to be on - the self identified ally personified!

No one is in charge of how someone identifies except themselves.

Genuinely impressive how ignorant and presumptive this reply is. I’m assuming you’re young and I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that your intentions are good here. It seems like you’ve had some bad experiences with bad faith allies in the past and if so, that sucks, and I’m sorry for that. But this is misplaced rage and your energy would probably be better spent elsewhere. I am not your enemy and I never will be.
