It amazes me that this could be claimed by anyone who has ever engaged with activists who use 'intersectional' as part of their label.

The word 'intersectionality' along with associated terms 'diversity' & 'inclusion' have their own very specific political meanings now.

'Your feminism isn't intersectional' isn't just an observation. The response, 'No, I find other approaches better' won't go down well.

I'm told this explicitly & genuinely. 'Intersectionality' is seen by its adherents as synonymous with 'caring about social justice for all.'
