Crenshaw gave a talk about the corruption of the definition of intersectionality recently, and you've reminded me to go look for it.

I haven't read them, but I understand the basic ideas. When I hear how awful intersectionality is I wonder what definition is being used 1/-

I've spent 2yrs reading about the intersection between class & race in the US. So am I supposed to give up? Ignore it? 2/3

Same is true of "identity politics". It's either good or bad depending on definition. So sensible discourse is impossible.

Maybe we can. As in you and I. I'm talking about the wider debate.
