Is your allyship accidentally performative? In the previous episode, Tasha Colin (rolling they/them, she/her) shared out the allyship tip "Honestly, I would love if people wouldn't assume or- I would love for people to ask me what my identities mean for me in order to know how to support me better. Versus maybe hearing how I identify and then assuming certain things. Yet, just asking me how they can support me is supportive."
In this mini-episode, host Chris Angel (they/them) introduces ways people and businesses may accidentally be practicing performative allyship. Self-reflection questions/journaling prompts:
1. Have I been told that my allyship is performative?
2. Are my actions and words consistent with how I want to show up as an ally?
3. What am I willing to do for the LGBTQ+ community?
4. What are boundaries I have for myself?
5. How can I push past any discomfort or tension of allyship?
6. Who are some other allies I can engage with and talk to if and when things get hard?
7. Where do I get my allyship ideas and tips from? Are they people with that lived experience?
Resources, references, and full transcripts for each episode are available at www.allyshipisaverb.com
