I posted another example above using leetspeak to bypass it, pretty silly.
Counterpoint. Yes, it's anecdotal, but the biggest success my mother has had in kicking her cigarette habit has been identifying herself as a non-smoker. She did that before cutting back at all, and now she's from 35/day to 6. Every other attempt, she's identified as a smoker trying to quit, and it's failed.
Same theory - let them identify as what they want to be. Once they identify as such, the behavior will follow easier than if they're saying "I'm trying to be an ally".
And your denying them any openness and acceptance as someone actively trying to become better, even in the smallest of steps, is denying said people reason to grow. Shit doesn't happen overnight.
Part of it may be identifying as an ally as a first step. If you internaliz "I am an ally" your future actions will probably more align with that identity. People like to be true to themselves, let them identify as good things without gatekeeping it.
And, playing around with another person's leetspeak work around:
I figured I'd try what they said about having gpt read that article. Pretty funny.
Huh. I went back to the chat several hours later, and it appears to have finished the reply:

More time than willingness to give up on this matter. It costs them time and money, too, and that's enough to feel worth it to me.
Yes. One that has less shit "security" practices. Or that properly staffs their checkout. Or whatever reason I chose to walk out.

I thought it was a new social media platform focused on pictures of skeletons.
I was wondering if Firefly being the immediate de facto response to this had lived its life. It appears not.
