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?

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.
