The split attraction model is not the cause of internalized homophobia. Transphobes are not transphobes because of neopronuns. Lesbians are not harassed because bi women exist. Homophobes are not homophobes because people identify as “queer” instead of “gay” or “LGBT.”

Me when I suddenly remember the perfect quote from Leslie Feinberg in hir work Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue;

“To claim one group of downtrodden people is oppressing another by their self-identification is to swing your guns away from those who really do oppress us, and to aim them at those who are already under siege.”
