      It relates to the question how discrimination is discovered, seen as worth fixing, and to the question whose attention is required to fix it

      In what way does it relate?

      How would requiring a group to isolate, resist individuality or shared experience with outgroups help minorities to convince majorities?

      Doesn't this result in minorities within minorities being vilified - see liberal, LGBT & ex-Muslims - & hinder communication between groups?

      I am having trouble understanding your position. I think I'd need it explained to me in very clear terms with examples.

      I see a need for focus on distinct experiences of groups but not at the cost of its members relating to wider society or being individuals.

      eg Germany. No same sex marriage. A lesbian wld need to speak as a member of a group & organise with a group to address this.

      She's disadvantaged on a group level. She should still be able to be an individual as well & be fully engaged with wider society.

      Ok, I agree with that. Does a position exist that disagrees with that? How?

      Yes! Do you remember my Problem with Intersectional Feminism piece which looked at that?https://areomagazine.com/2017/02/15/the-problem-with-intersectional-feminism/ …

          She is likely to be asked to focus on identity & blamed or accused of betrayal if she doesn't find this identity primary thing abt her.

          A trans woman was telling me she has a problem with employment coz she's either rejected for her identity or expected to be political abt it

          If offered a job by a pro-trans employer, she has to be intersectional & prioritise being trans. Can't just be herself.

          Yeah… pushing the responsibility for fighting oppression onto people who are already being disadvantages is not cool.

          She's a universal liberal, like me. She disagrees with intersectionality whilst being engaged in opposing discrimination. American.
