Well, I had this typed out and then OP āgot boredā and deleted their post, so hereās a thing.
Intersectionality is a framework of understanding and discussing how different forms of oppression play out when they intersect. Itās important to acknowledge how various aspects of someoneās identity can simultaneously influence how they are treated and the discrimination they experience.
Intersectionality is NOT mathematics. It is not some equation that goes like, āIām a gay person of color: 1 Homophobia + 1 Racism = 2 Oppression Pointsā. It also doesnāt go like, āIām a transgender man: 1 Transphobia - 1 Misogyny = 0 Oppression Pointsā.
Not only are those mathematics flawed since most if not all trans men experience/d misogyny, theyāre flawed because thatās not how oppression works. There are no points. There is no equation. And IMO, entering any shared queer space and announcing that āThey/I/We have it worse than you!ā Is a shitty fucking way to build a community.
(Also, if youāre going to make a discourse post and add a bunch of tags so it gets seen, donāt just delete it when people start disagreeing with you. On Facebook they call that ādirty deletingā and itās generally frowned upon, because all the labor that just went into responding to your post is now wiped from the internet.)
