r/QueerTheory

I'm coining this term to explain what's going on in Palestine. During phase 1 of genocide, target population increases. This appears benign, but it's actually how genocide works. For example, it's well known that Germans started by letting the populations of Herero and then Jews increase, for reasons. The Hutu even artificially inflated the Tutsi population so they'd have more people to kill.

Phase 1 has been ongoing for as long as I've been alive. This is actually really bad because it means that by time I'm 50 the Palestinian population will begin to decline. Something to watch out for.

don't let them confuse you, the Zionist entity is crafty (they even laced the boot of the NYPD because Palestine isn't even enough for these people?). I heard they also drop cats off of their roofs for fun, and some of them have horns on their heads

Just as the title says. I’m working on a school paper about the topic and am having trouble finding historical accounts. It can be pretty much anything!

I hear so many brilliant women speaking knowledge about queer and womens studies in ways that I've never seen queer men speak before. For example, my tiktok fyp will present me with a woman brilliantly explaining misogyny/transphobia/bioessentialism at profound academic levels. That type of intellect and the ability to communicate it to others is truly community building and inspiring and some of my favorite content to consume. Then I scroll and the next tiktok is a "conventionally attractive gay male" complaining that gay men aren't masculine enough, or that the dating world is so hard because "everyone is open".

But there's this part of me now, maybe because I've done some healing. I truly love my fellow queer gay men. I want to share intimacy with them without the strange precedent of owed sexual behavior. I want to compliment my fellow gay man and tell him he's beautiful and gorgeous and amazing, but the unspoken rule is that if you behave that way it means you're projecting some type of sexual expectation. I want to share deep unspoken embraces with someone whose story I don't know by words but can feel by touch. I want to look them in the eyes and take them in and appreciate their queerness, the suffering that we all share. Even if just for a moment. No expectations, no fears. I want an intimacy that isn't friendship or lovers.

I wonder if anyone else has these thoughts, or are there some communities actively engaging with this ideology?

Thanks for taking the time to read my post <3
