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

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.

In many ways the central abuse of the framework is to try to reduce privilege and marginalisation to a single number, and "the only measure of privilege is individual happiness" is that abuse taken to its logical extreme.
