Except cis allies will stab us in the back the microsecond it’ll become slightly uncomfortable. We’re always on probation with them, and we have to be "the good, quiet, binary and unchallenging trans people" to deserve any allyship or support

If you're going to be annoying about it, then people won't like you. Imagine if you had a friend who used Arch Linux and that's all that they talked about and then they said people who use Windows are literally Hitler and the second you say, hey maybe chill a little bit, they start screeching.

I believe you just need better friends or to lose a bit your bias.

I guess you need a therapist who is trans to help you work through that issue. Imagine living your life not trusting others on the basis of their gender identity. Couldn't be me.

My therapist is a white cis heterosexual man, and I would trust him to walk through fire for his trans neighbors.

It’s a shame you feel that way, but it might be the people you personally know. Look in most leftist circles. You’ll find a robust selection of true allies.

Lol I'm assuming the downvotes "prove" your own point to you, but this is a real pointless take if you can't even provide examples.
