“I’m Not Cis, You Are”: 38 Times Ignorance Took A Turn And Became Accidental LGBTQ+ Allyship
As our world seems to be taking steps back from progressive ideals, the LGBTQ+ community needs allies more than ever. As of 2024, nearly one in 10 Americans identified as LGBTQ+, yet according to a 2025 Pew survey, 39% of Americans think that homosexuality is "morally wrong."
Many bigoted and hateful people voice their opinions loud and proud without shame, but some fail spectacularly. In fact, their hatred sometimes has the opposite effect: whether they misidentify a trans person, get lost in queer terminology, or just generally don't know what they're talking about.
Then they end up being accidental allies and maybe even get featured in the "Accidental Ally" community on Reddit. Check out these posts about the times hatred against the LGBTQ+ community backfired and bigots ended up showing support.

And yet bigots think it is a modern phase and that all societies and cultures only ever recognised two genders.

You're right, because dogs and cats are separate species XD A trans man and a trans woman are both human beings, and are both valid human beings :)

Woah I Did Not Know That Nancy Mace Is Trans

I'm not a pregnant person, a chest-feeder, or a birthing person either, because I've never been pregnant nor given birth. Does that somehow make me not a "real" female, then? I've always been curious in this matter XD

Trans people aren't like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. They are real, and not imaginary. They're not going away just because you dislike their existence. Being trans is not a "mental illness" or a "mental deficiency" or a "mental health issue". Trans women are women and trans men are men. Gender-neutral and genderfluid people also exist and are valid, real, and valuable people. And conversely, if the gender you were assigned at birth matches the gender you currently identify as, that does not make you "superior" or "special" or "better" than anyone else. We are all just human.

The vast majority of the population worldwide have the freedom to live according to their gender. Why should we deny this right to a small minority?
Nathaniel He/Him Cis-Het 44 minutes ago
There is a bigot on here that claims that being transgender is a mental illness. If we were to momentarily agree with this statement then we can see that, in his worldview, it is okay to mock and attack the mentally ill. This person also thinks he holds the moral high ground and represents biological reality....
