Do you know intersectionality?
It is a concept that all “oppressed” minority groups should join their forces in a common struggle, because they have the same enemies: capitalism, patriarchy and white Westerners who cling to their privileges.
Do you fight the same enemies as me?
So you are my friend.
Come and demonstrate by my side!
You will brandish my sign and I will brandish yours!
SO, SO, Solidarity!
QUEERS FOR PALESTINE?
On paper, it’s fine.
Except that life does not take place on paper.
Take Hamas.
Hamas has the same enemies as gays, lesbians and trans.
That is to say the three horsemen of the apocalypse: capitalism, patriarchy and the white Westerners who cling to their privileges.
Except that Hamas – like all religious extremists – does not like gays, lesbians, nor trans.
In Palestine, the crime of homosexuality is liable to 10 years in prison (Source: Arc-en-Ciel International Rainbow).
«Queers for Palestine“, They torch.
Safia Nolin would disembark in Gaza that they would throw her in jail immediately.
She wouldn’t even have time to chant “Fuck the Zionists!” As she does on her social media.
(By the way, a Zionist is someone who is for the existence of Israel. Safia Nolin is therefore against the existence of Israel and against the solution to two states. Like Hamas, she would like Palestine to extend “from the river to the sea”, from the Jordan to the Mediterranean. So, that the Jews start.
Asking the gays, lesbians and Trans to fight alongside rigorist Muslims is like asking gazelles to share the layer of a group of lions.
It’s utopian.
It doesn’t even happen in Disney movies.
Not in the same bag!
Similarly, more and more gays, lesbians and bisexuals would like the LGBT associations to drop the T (for trans).
“The fight for sexual orientation has nothing to do with the fight for gender identity,” they say. These are two completely different cases. Let the Trans lead their fight, and will lead us ours. ”
This is the point of view defended among others by LGB Alliance, a British pressure group founded in 2019 by two lesbian activists.
In short, all that to say that this is not true that all “oppressed” minorities have the same program.
Humanity is multiple.
There are gays against the wearing of the veil, homophobic Muslims, bisexuals against sex transitions among minors, right -wing lesbians, leftists who vote PQ and not QS, blacks against abortion, etc.
Trying to collect as many people in the same tent is ridiculous.
Have you seen the baffles that there was around the presence of a Jewish association in the pride parade?
Divisions like that, there will be more and more.
Intersectionality is in the process of fragmenting the left.
Because it is a utopia. A patent to kids of intellectuals.
People define themselves as much by what separates them as by what brings them together.
