Self-proclaimed allies terrify me. Genuinely scare me. If a part of your claimed identity relies on a struggle you have no or little access to -- I am given pause. However, if you are willing to take on the stigma of being the other, willing to not be complacent in the reproduction of discrimination, willing to remove yourself from the center of the debate, I can hear you. Too many allies dont see this. It is easy to speak positively about marginalized groups, but as soon as you take credit or praise for it, only your success will be remembered.
