   Intersectionality is so stupid.

   >Why disability inclusion discussions must involve intersectional voices such people of color and the LGBTQI+ community.

     @Hyolobrika The idea is that each oppressed people group you belong to is a kind of magnifier for the type of oppression you have experienced and can speak to. A person who is only female, but straight and white has suffered very little oppression compared to a person who is of darker complexion and gay (even more points for trans).

     @thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika ... and then when you chuck that in a wheelchair, it's far more intersectional than a white dude who lost his arms in a plant accident in the same wheelchair.

     @Hyolobrika @jeremiah given the context I would say it's because an intersectional champion can take the cause further than just some crippled veteran.

     @jeremiah
     I get that, but what's the justification for involving race and sexuality in a discussion about disability issues (as per the quote in OP)?

     @Hyolobrika @thatguyoverthere ... i think they're trying to say that certain races and genders are disabilities.

     ... or if they're not, what would they be saying differently?

     @thatguyoverthere @Hyolobrika @jeremiah

     no steelmanning occurred as intersectionality is stupid and everyone here knows it

     but i think they argument has something to do with the idea that if you focus on disability issues without intersectionality it’s easy for structural racism sexism homophobia transphobia etc to seep in

     @Hyolobrika

     i think the belief is that it's structural/everywhere/baked into our brains, so it always seeps in unless it's being actively fought against
