If you want a summation of how allyship in the SNP works...
@LadyJinty comes for me, says it& #39;s no wonder people don& #39;t like me, and compares me to Denise Findlay. I say that doesn& #39;t sound like a good ally. She blocks me, and behind that block, calls me a bigot.

She then misgenders me. And refuses to apologise. Because you only deserve the right pronouns if she agrees with you completely
That& #39;s what #bothvotessnp gets you - performative allyship where you only get nice treatment if you promise to not criticise the party at all.

We deserve better than this. I will continue to call out & #39;allies& #39; like this, who are NOT allies at all. All trans people have seen it.
But what happens next? More cis folks, like @S_U_A_R come for me, and tell me to stop fighting. This is privilege, in action.

Taking a #bothsides utterly centrist approach is wrong. I will never, ever, ever apologise for calling out performative allyship. I don& #39;t care who it comes from, if it& #39;s Nicola, or if it& #39;s the shite allyship of folks like @LynnesnpR
I& #39;ll keep calling it out.

If folks in the SNP don& #39;t like me for that... that& #39;s fine. You don& #39;t need to like me. I am not even a party member, and I& #39;ll never vote for you.
But if you want to address the concerns the trans community have with your party, you can& #39;t treat all of us this way.
