We’re not all like that
If you say something like that, please read the following and reconsider your position before picking up your ally card again.
- We’re mistreated and have a right to be angry
- Chances are, yes you are, perhaps without even noticing
- If you’re not, you have every chance to be, making you a potential danger
- You’re not free from criticism
- Tone policing only serves to silence us
- We have tumblr, you have the world
- We know you’re not all like that, but as soon as you say that, you are
While I am mainly addressing cis people in these links, this applies to any other majority as well—white people, men, neurotypical people, straight people, abled people, allistic people, rich people, etc. And yes, I myself am in some of those groups.
