astrog8tr I'd say the only standard I hold of cis people comes from cis people at Pride. I don't care if cis people aren't allies, I just care that the cis people at Pride are allies (whether they identify as LGB+ or not). For the most part, as long as someone doesn't hate me or act in opposition to my happiness, I have a copacetic agreement that people don't need to be allies because it's the "decent" thing to do. I think it's one of those calls to arms that you don't need to confront until someone you love comes to you with what they've been going to through. Also I hope you're recovering from surgery nicely, Jay, was sending good vibes your way and glad to see you've made it out okay :D.
A very nice video-- I really like what you said about "hating". If we are respectful, we can tolerate different POVs (as someone who identifies as trans). I think there's a difference between a cis-person and an ally. An ally is someone who could work with us at some level. A cis-person is just someone who is cis. Lots more cis-people, than allies who are cis. But I agree not all allies are activists.
yemax29 I've already responded to you about this privately, but so you don't feel neglected I wanted you to know that having your approval and knowing I've made you proud is one of those things that makes me very happy :D
shadesoftoska I'm afraid I was a tad late in both responding and getting an asexual video topic up, but at least I've made some type of contribution after 2 weeks of fussing away at it XD.
(all the hugs kato!!!) Fantastic video!!! looking forward to part 2!!
