Hi,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, I'm specifically curious to see how blahaj.zone, feels about this topic.

I recently made a post Discussion: Do Not Reject Imperfect Allies

In this post I open up the discussion as to how we should treat imperfect allies, and made some crude examples one of which relates to people who are Pro-Trans but not fully.

What do you feel is the best way to approach these scenarios, and influence positive change?

Completely agree, there's situations where it's important to have allies you can work with in common cause, even if they're imperfect. As well agree that you can't let tolerance of imperfections turn into complacency in the face of bad behavior or tolerating bad actors.
