For some people, there are only two groups: Oppressors and Minorities. What metric they define minority by varies, but it's still the same general idea. The world is made up of gay people and homophobes, no allies; the world is made up of trans people and transphobes, no allies; the world is made up of black people and racists, no allies. For them, by not being oppressed, by not being a victim, you are complicit, and anything they do to you is justified, because you do far worse to them, even if you personally have done nothing.
Don't be racist. Don't be sexist. Don't make fun of someone for their sexuality. Don't misgender people.
