ID: Drawing of a duck billed platypus underwater, they're wearing a rainbow coloured t shirt and a pink bum-bag, and saying: "Ally is not something you can self-identify as, it's a title that you earn. Let your actions speak for themselves!"

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

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.

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

Taking that idea and making it about how people can self-identify as allies regardless of their actions is incredibly distasteful.

So you're saying that OP could choose to identify as your significant other, and it would be entirely OP's decision with none of your input?

You keep being an ass to people and you won’t have to worry about anyone wanting to be your ally.
