If you thought you were a true ally, maybe it's time for some introspection.

      If it's "let's not talk about it because reasons," that's definitely bullshit. James Baldwin nailed this point 40 years ago with his "How much time do you want for your progress?" remarks. We should not be sidelining the interests of our trans comrades, especially when just speaking about the issue can help create a less bigoted environment.

      But if it's "let's talk about it, and here's how I think we can talk about it such that we achieve meaningful results as soon as possible?" That sounds like a conversation sincerely interested in moving things in the right direction.
