It is where I break down the main claims of intersectionality. People often tell me this isn't what it states. I'm not a fan, no.

Actually intersectionality has involved into an identity such as I'm not black and a woman but I'm a black woman as a whole self.

It's more than a rhetorical approach it's a reality of many people born within two marginalized identities.

I'm talking about the approach. That is what I am not a fan of. People with multi-faceted marginalised identities can choose it or not.

I can't choose it. My blackness is inseparable from my womanhood and the duality of it effects me differently than black men or white women.

You don't have to choose an intersectional approach to address this. Most WoC don't.

The WOC I know have always acknowledged their intersectionality as an added layer of adversity & important factor in all social debates.

OK, but most WoC haven't even heard of Crenshaw or read her approach, don't value postmodernism or identity politics.

Black woman don't need to read Crenshaw to know what intersectionality is bc they lived and experienced it.

This goes back to data vs life. Crenshaw had a theory but black women has lived the reality of that theory for generations.

No. That isn't a theory. That is reality. It is the theory that I oppose. Intersectional feminism. Not being a black/trans/woman.
