Something about allyship that I would like to remind people – being an ally to a community is not something you designate yourself. People in that community get to decide you are an ally. For example, I don't call myself an ally when it comes to communities I'm not in. I don't call myself anything. I don't need a label. I just need to listen and learn & help when asked.

The rest of the time I try to keep my mouth shut, & boost marginalized voices.

Being on twitch as someone transgender and disabled really reminded me of my experience in college. My film program was physically brutal and multiple wheelchair users had not made it through before me. My advisor really just wanted me to get through the program so they could say somebody that used a wheelchair made it.
