Life of Lamb #2: Allies

This comic was based on a real life incident, and to me feels important to post on Pride Month.

If you take away any message from this, it's that there are cis people who will stand up for trans people, even when push comes to shove.

We are not alone.

Back in 2015, some people started the #IllGoWithYou hashtag. A way for allies to show trans people support by wearing a pin to let them know they're available to go with them to the public gendered bathroom that they identify as.

I haven't seen the founders of this post in over two years and with how much vitriol there's been against trans people lately, I felt the need to revive this, so I designed some new pins for all people to wear to show support of trans people in public spaces.

These will be pay what you want, all proceeds going to the Trevor project. Pick the pin that aligns with what gendered bathroom you're comfy with accompanying someone into.

More info writen up by the founders here!

i get misgendered in front of my ally friends every once in a while, and whenever it happens i love the half-second glance they give me like

i dont care if you're queer or the straightest man alive, if you disrespect anyone based on queerness, you're being queerphobic. if you support queer people and respect all of our rights, you're being a queer ally.

like "allies" doesn't just mean people who aren't queer but support queer people. that is the most common usage, for good reason. but not every queer person has the same identity or experiences.

you can be gay and not an ally to gender nonconforming people. you can be gender nonconforming and not an ally to nonbinary people. you can be nonbinary and not an ally to intersex people. you can be intersex and not an ally to trans people.

you don't have to understand why someone identifies the way they do to be an ally. because what an ally does in a situation where they don't understand something... is learn. even if it takes time. they apologize when they make a mistake because they care.

it's really all just about caring about other people at the end of the day. caring about them enough to learn how you can support them, and then actually doing what it takes to support them when you can.
