Queerer than queer: reflections of a Kike dyke

In this article the author, a Jewish lesbian academic, reflects on the positive and negative aspects of her dual identity and explores her feelings of exclusion from "in groups" in a range of settings. Annie Goldflam carries a legacy of fear from stories of medieval "witch" burnings and drownings and the twentieth century Jewish Holocaust, which she reflects on to compare the nature of anti-semitism and lesbophobia, considering the options of hiding from racist and homophobic forms of oppression or confronting them. She has chosen to confront, be "out" and politically active.
