Its true, I know you've been going through it lately but we do, in fact, have allies.
I know there's technically some
I am just very jaded about cis people. It very much seems like we are on an island. I only ever see trans women advocating for us. And I doubt I need to recount the things I've seen so called allies do/say.
I used to think that trans people had cis allies because I was an ally. A non-chaser, real deal ally.
Lmao look at how that turned out.
Very difficult to have good allies irl. Like if you look for them specifically you can probably find them. But the average cis person is ... oof. There needs to be a critical mass of gender consciousness IRL, not just on Internet forums.
There's a lot of invisible normie allies. Though I guess their density varies place to place, and a goal of the reactionary movement is poison them as a well of support.
I have a bunch of cis women friends who treat me like another one of the girls in the group effortlessly. But they're also ignorant of various trans issues.
When I bring up some facet of harassment or discrimination they're all appropriately upset but also like "wow I never knew about that"
