I think a big problem with the "queer community" is that it has become a homogenous ingroup that presumes we are all "siblings" in some way. As in, its more about a vague sense of unity and oneness rather than a political alliance of marginalized people's.

So the discourses become who is and is not queer. Who's gender is more subversive. Flags, labels, and other petty nonsense. When one tries to meaningfully analyze how our different genders, races, classes and so on impact our conditions and potential privileges, they are called a separatist who is threatening the oneness of the community.

But, there is no community. There is no siblinghood or unity. We all have materially different conditions compared to each other. Rocky horror is not "my queer history". It is just a bad movie that some suburban whites watch. Women are not my sisters. They are a marginalized people who share one thing in common with me, but everything else is infinitely varied on the individual.

What I am saying is, instead of a community who is unified. We should be an alliance between the marginalized. Yes, we will strive for the liberation of us all, but we should also study our material conditions and how our struggles, needs, oppression, and lives differ.
