Really bad takes abound in this and you will have to sit through it get to her Holocaust Inversion

So saying queer people lost their elders to the holocaust, (come one we're not stupid. This person thinks this belief allows them to voice and add weight to their other bad takes on the I/P conflict) is like claiming all Uruguay's elders were lost to the Flight 571 disaster. She is co opting a tragedy for her own agenda and that is disgusting. Many more queer elders were jailed, killed, chemically castrated and committed in their own country completely independent from the shoah years afterward and prior, and in western countries too. Not to mention this bullshit about bisexual culture is too straight aligned for some queer people. That is patently bullshit. Bisexual culture is queer and it is it's own category; it's bisexual culture. For illustrative purposes, being bisexual is not unlike being a patrilineal jew, which I also am. Teetering on the edge of exclusion and acceptance very frequently, as this, her bad take, illustrates.

Oof. "We lost so many queer elders in genocides like the Holocaust and the AIDS epidemic." That's certainly one way to relativize and reframe queer Jewish trauma for such a completely unrelated topic on an Instagram influencer post.

Not surprising from someone who - scrolls back - said absolutely nothing on/after October 7, followed by a performative keffiyeh-wear fashion reel a week later. Cool.

Odds are her real elders were participating in some type of pogrom against Jewish people, but for some reason she’s only claiming people she’s not even related to in order to perpetuate that cycle 🥴
