Is there a term or name for someone who champions any & all diverse groups who absolutely refuses to listen to another side of the argument & if you disagree with anything they say you are labelled homophonic, terf, racist etc.
They seem to be completely offended by my very existence of being a straight, white, middle-aged female.
It's a work situation that has gone on so long to the point that I'm completely silenced in meetings, I actually don't dare speak.
I need to stick up for myself but finding it difficult.

Interested to know what "other side of the argument" are you sharing that they are telling you is homophobic or racist?

Racist due to asking a question during a discussion on race during a d&i session, not allowed as a white person apparently.
Homophobic when I didn't know what the Stonewall Riots were.
I'm actually interested in all views and I was asking questions to better understand during D&I sessions.
She's actually a bit of a bully who has her sights firmly set on me, seems to think the world's ills lay firmly at my feet.
In reality I'm a people person, I'm interested in other people, their life experiences, my mantra is live your life and be happy, I'm not a hater.
Funny thing is she's a white middle-aged woman.

I have someone like that in my workplace
She's a bully, but she gets away with it because she's an "ally".

Honestly? Bigot fits this description quite well, despite it often being used in the other direction.
