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

(I agree that that's often how it's treated in its weaponised form) It's not really a tool of analysis where you're supposed to be able to say how much someone is privileged or marginalised, it's for looking at the specific ways in which privilege and marginalisation occur.

A disabled neurodivergent poor cis white guy may be in some sense more marginalised than an able bodied rich neurotypical trans woman of colour, but it's still useful to consider each of their privileges and marginalisations separately from the total degree.
