"Non-intersectional" is when biz's and police fly rainbow flags, but turn around and make black trans ppl's lives hell, ignorant of history
Intersectionality vs universal liberalism is what I am arguing. Pragmatism is no good without principles.

I guess the ultimate question is, what principles and can they truly be universal? It's like the Star Trek prime directive.

Liberal principles. No, we'll never get everyone to accept them but it doesn't mean we shouldn't be consistent with them.
-
One of the adverse effects of being overly focused on identity is it increases distrust of out-groups.
-
Also intersectionality seems to take at face value that society is the sole cause of disparities between groups, and therefore also the cure
-
... and neither of these assumptions gets tested in just about any discourse I have seen.
