Just stop it. If you haven't read Lyotard's "The Postmodern Condition", and you wouldn't know a grand narrative if it bit you on the nose, pipe down about postmodernism. You're making asses of yourselves.

Sure, but postmodernism is suspicious of truth claims across the board. It's a rejection of modernist certainty. Intersectionality has much more in common with standpoint theory. (The idea one's location in systems of domination/subordination gives privileged access to truth).
Well, that aspect is more suggestive of postmodernism, but to be properly postmodernist it would have to see claims of identity as being merely a play signifiers, referencing nothing beneath the surface, ephemera if you like. And intersectional types would hate hate that.
