Abstract
Abstract Upon the international community’s exit from Afghanistan in August 2021, the West made Afghanistan into a crisis, covering up its decades of violence while dehumanizing Afghans. Afghanistan was constructed as a site of oppression and homophobia, allowing the West to situate itself once again as not only ‘civilized’ but ‘queerly civilized’. From the United States to Canada, France and Ireland, saving the ‘at risk’ Afghan queers, trans and women became an international humanitarian responsibility. How and why did queer and trans Afghans all a sudden become “at risk” and “in need of saving” individuals? How did the Western governments and humanitarian regimes politicize queer and trans Afghan lives and “savings”? Based on a de/colonial ethnography of the Afghan evacuations at the moment of humanitarian exit, this article introduces the concept of ‘homo-humanitarianism’ through which the West so-called saved queer and trans Afghans upon/post its abrupt withdrawal while constructing Afghanistan as a site of perpetual violence and Afghans as homophobic.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
