I think that she admits that she’s a lesbian, although as she says “She’s not queer”. The fuck she’s trying to say? This doesn’t make sense

The fuck she’s trying to say

It's a more "respectful" way to say "I might like women but I'm not a f*ggot", you saw similar things with Ernst Rohm and other Nazi gays

Basically for fascists, "queer" has a specific connotation as "effeminate, progressive, degenerate, weak, artistic, and mentally ill", or specifically for lesbians "masculanized, dominant, progressive, and a man hating feminist"

What she's trying to do is separate herself from that image by claiming that while she's into women, she is not part of the queer community her party attacks

How about "a hypocrite"?

Yes, but there's a bit more to it than that.

Famously, Ernst Rohm and other Nazi gays thought they were "masculine" for their love of men compared to the "feminine" queers of Berlin
