here's a thing that's been bothering me re: intersectionality (which i have complex feels about) when people* talk about it, it's pretty much always race / gender and sure those are important but what about, say if someone is neurotypical? *americans 1/x

(For a long time raising this issue was considered a male derailing tactic despite the fact that you're obviously correct)

FWIW though I typically see sexuality, disability, and (sometimes) age and class included in intersectionality considerations by default too.

I know someone who was bullied for being clumsy. In adulthood they find brain abnormalities in his cerebellum. Jordan Peterson's take is that if you take into account all the axis of privilege, some undiscovered, you end up on the scale of the individual. Which I agree with.

You may have to then acknowledge that the only objective measure of privilege is subjective happiness. I am in favour of intersectionality if it is taken to this logical endpoint, but it's proponents *by design* do not want to use it to the extent it obviously calls for.
