We do everything we can to live Pride every single day of the year, and that only makes this month even more special! So as we’re reaching the middle of Pride Month, I’d like to once more wish everyone celebrating Happy Pride! Here’s how we have focused the month so far:
Being A Better Ally
As the mom of a non-binary tran child, I work everyday to be the best ally I can possibly be. And that means constant education.
If you haven’t checked out Ace Schwarz from Teaching Outside the Binary yet, I highly recommend doing so! In fact, we just had an amazing conversation over on the Whole View (here)!
My Tips For Allyship:
- Educate yourself and don’t stop educating yourself.
- Own your privilege and recognize the advantages, opportunities, and resources you automatically get.
- Accept that you won’t always have the same experiences as other people and that is okay!
- See something, say something! Don’t wait for a marginalized groups to react to speak up.
- Accept that you might not always know best and be willing to accept feedback when given (Lizzo just gave a fantastic example of that this week).
