@extracompelling #eduqueer it doesn't hurt, but what does it really help? A nice gesture is just that, at the end of the day.

@extracompelling #eduqueer it is a supportive gesture, but not the only gesture/action to be made for LGBTQ equality & rights as allies

#eduqueer focusing on one aspect of a movement and feeling self-satisfied by that form of #slactivism is where allyship continues to fail me

#eduqueer Allyship always fails when allies are "offended" by critiques of their passion or themselves by those they are "allies" for, ugh.

#eduqueer @circleh31 I agree. It's so important to recognize when allyship is not wanted.

Going back, I know I need to adjust my ideas of an ally. Too often centered onthose with privileged identities. #eduqueer

It's easy to claim #allyship when you can take the identity on & off like a coat. How to be an ally w/o appropriating oppression? #eduqueer

I think we need to think about "ally" as a verb, not a noun. #eduqueer
