The worst advocate work is having to advocate for yourself. No one wants to fucking listen.
This is why it is vital fro men to be leading the fight on abuse.
White people should be leading the fight for the rights of PoC.
Cis/straight people should be on the front lines advocating for the LGBTQ community.
You have to fight for your neighbor.
@GinnyMcQueen Ehh I'm with you on men helping to fight abuse, but yea.
For marginalized community, like the LGBTQ community and PoC, I find it's better for cishet, white people, etc, to amplify our voices rather than represent us or speak over us.
Allow us to be heard, support us, etc. Don't lead the charge – be part of it.
But yea, this is kind of a different topic than harassment/abuse. Just wanted to get that out there.
@GinnyMcQueen Exactly! ❤️
@Eris Oh for sure, how these fights are won are very different. Like, we need white faces at BLM events. But white people should not be in charge of said events.
