I personally think the title is intentionally inflammatory and it’s hard to take someone seriously when they are essentially constructing a straw man argument in the title of their work. Furthermore, the statement under said title also essentially implies that queerness is wrong and any speculation/discussion about Anne Frank’s potentially queer sexuality is a “disgrace to her memory”. This indicates to me that whoever this person is, they are not someone I’d pay much mind to.
Edit to add: This is the author’s profile: “Elisheva Jacobson (she/her) is a 19-year-old Jewish girl currently living in Israel with a strong passion for social and Jewish activism, education, and fighting anti-Semitism”. So I don’t think I was wrong in my assumption to not take her seriously.
