If you want a summation of how allyship in the SNP works...

@LadyJinty comes for me, says it's no wonder people don't like me, and compares me to Denise Findlay. I say that doesn'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'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 'allies' 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't care who it comes from, if it's Nicola, or if it's the shite allyship of folks like @LynnesnpR

I'll keep calling it out.

If folks in the SNP don't like me for that... that's fine. You don't need to like me. I am not even a party member, and I'll never vote for you.

But if you want to address the concerns the trans community have with your party, you can't treat all of us this way.

You need to listen to some of us, somewhere.

Kenning you lot, you'll probably find some fucking weirdo truscum haytonite... but like, we've been telling you about all these problems for ages, and you told us we were wrong and you were right and well.. it was the other way around

And now you're seeing that we were right all along.

If you'd listened to us beforehand, you wouldn't be in this mess now. So maybe listen to us now. And stop telling us to shut up.

Sometimes, the boat needs to be rocked.
