ID: Drawing of a duck billed platypus underwater, they're wearing a rainbow coloured t shirt and a pink bum-bag, and saying: "Ally is not something you can self-identify as, it's a title that you earn. Let your actions speak for themselves!"

Drag thinks you've misunderstood the post. The post says you earn the title of ally through your actions. It doesn't say you earn it through someone else's actions. Your actions are your choices. Someone else calling you an ally isn't your action, it's theirs. So the post is not saying that queer people bestow the title on you, it's saying you bestow it on yourself. By doing good things.
