Honestly, the more loudly and vehemently you identify as an ally of a marginalized group, the less of an ally you probably are.
If you have to ASSURE people you're An Ally, you're really just doing a different version of "Some of my best friends are _____!" or "I love your people!"
If you're just trying to do your best and maybe have some doubts about whether you're enough of an ally, you're probably fine.
Same basic rule of thumb as being a good person, really.
coming in hot with my first take on antisemitism in a while after trying to limit my time on this cesspit of jew hatred: being an ally is not something you can identify as, it is something that you become through actions and are deemed so by the minority you are allying with. 99% of you who identify as an ally of the jewish people are actually raging antisemites. if we are scared of you (we are) you are not an ally, not matter how much you identify as one.
