The pinkwashing of the genocide infuriates me so much. I hate how the PrOgrESsIvE IdF is portrayed as bringing “Liberal Values™” to the “Backward muslims”, and then islamophobic tropes continue to be parroted by the media uncritically. yes, israel is technically more LGBTQ friendly compared to other nearby countries, but they dont have legalized gay marriage. /vent
Anyways, I was at a radical book store yesterday, and I picked up a poetry book called “Blood Orange”, which is written by a trans Palestinian named Mx Yaffa.
To quote the book:
Trans and PalestineIf I was not trans would Palestine be free? no, then how fucking dare you bring it up instead of saying free Palestine!
