Some recent posts about race 'allies' often missing the mark - and ppl replying 'but they/we mean well!' got me thinking about my experiences of disability 'allies' who offer help that isn't helpful. It turned into a blog.

"In my disability experience, I choose who I feel safe near, and who I don't feel safe near. And it is never based on their 'intention'. It is my decision, based on their behaviours.

So when it comes to me wanting to be supportive of people from other races or cultures, I guess the same rules apply. I don't decide if I am their ally. They decide whether they feel safe around me. It is 100% their decision, and if they don't: I need to look at my behaviour."
