The greatest trick the right ever pulled was convincing queer people that other queer people are the enemy
The split attraction model is not the cause of internalized homophobia. Transphobes are not transphobes because of neopronuns. Lesbians are not harassed because bi women exist. Homophobes are not homophobes because people identify as āqueerā instead of āgayā or āLGBT.ā
Me when I suddenly remember the perfect quote from Leslie Feinberg in hir workĀ Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue;
āTo claim one group of downtrodden people is oppressing another by their self-identification is to swing your guns away from those who really do oppress us, and to aim them at those who are already under siege.ā
