How to be an ally
Being an ally isn’t about being perfect. It’s about noticing, asking (for pronouns), self-educating, and speaking up – not for others, but with them. It is about taking an active role, listening, recognising one’s own prejudices, and educating oneself.
Key behaviors include:
- Self-educate. You may have a lot of questions. Remember, most queer/trans people have probably had to answer a lot of questions before. Sincerely curious? Spend some time searching the web and find some anwers yourself.
- Share your own pronouns and don’t assume what someone else’s are. And if you misgender someone apologize and go on, don’t make a big fuss about it.
- Listen and try to understand what it’s like for the other. Minority stress is real, and fear of being rejected for who you are is too. So practice compassion and speak up against queer/trans hate.
