If you call yourself a ally, no you fucking aren't.
As a member of a priveleged group who wishes to do the work of allyship on behalf of an oppressed group, you need to understand that it is a thankless job, and you *will* suffer for it. The only reward you will ever have is the satisfaction at seeing oppression being pushed back.
If you claim "ally" for yourself, it's stolen valor, and a real ally is evident in their work. Nobody who *is* an ally describes themselves as such.
