Right now might be a good moment for a refresher course of what allyship looks like in online spaces. It looks like taking a look at the people around you to see where you fall in the category of privilege. And then deciding whether or not your opinion adds value or noise.

So I am not transgender or a person with a disability (I mean partial deafness but it doesn't impact my life in a major way). So in those ways I am privileged.

So if a trans person said to me
"Cis people need to share the mic"
And I insisted that "We are sharing the mic FFS"

I would be the asshole in that conversation. Because cis gender people have largely ignored the transgender community and that is evident everywhere.

If a person with mobility issues told me that able bodied people need to share the mic and I interjected to tell them to "calm down cuz we are".

I would be the asshole there. Because all spaces are not inclusive for different levels of mobility.

And if a black person tells you that a white person has not shared the mic in environmental spaces and you told me "He's been handing (power) on for 70 years FFS", you are totally being ... cringey.

If power were shared the world would look much different.
