    I hate these ? ass feminist/SJW terms...

    That's not a term that applies just to feminism. It's an actual way of thinking that is pretty much a way of saying "You can pay attention to multiple issues at once" which is a concept many don't seem to get

    If people can be born as a man/woman but identify themselves as the opposite sex, and people accept it, then what's the difference with her identifying as a black woman? The precedent has been set.

    I have got to agree. I don't have to like it personally but Pandora's box has been opened and the hinges broken.

    Because to many that's tied to the brain chemistry differences between men and women because our brains are literally different. Transgender people and a white woman who wants to pretend to be black don't got ? to do with each other

    If anything I feel sorry for her. She's not all there.

    Do you feel the same way about black women who keep a weave in their head and insert foreign objects into their lips, ? , and ass, Katie. How about a ? freak? Is a ? freak "all there," or do you by into the ? theory that ? freaks aren't mentally ill?

    Personally, I think that a black women who keeps a weave in her head and ? freak both have issues like a muthafucka.

    I don't understand why you would single out black women as if they're the only women to participate in that behavior.

    I think a woman's need to alter herself to fit the popular opinions idea of beauty does stem from a mental conditioning.

    As for a transexual, clearly their mental works a bit differently than the average person.

    We all have mental issues to some degree.

    What's your point?

    intersectionality is the study of intersections between forms or systems of oppression, ? or discrimination....

    but yes one of it's purposes is to bring light to how racial and gender discrimination overlap

    as my grandma always says we usually "hate what we fear or don't know or understand"

    so please educate yourself

    below is a good starting point


    https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/in-theory/wp/2015/09/24/why-intersectionality-cant-wait/?utm_term=.a61d8e55f688

    Today, nearly three decades after I first put a name to the concept, the term seems to be everywhere. But if women and girls of color continue to be left in the shadows, something vital to the understanding of intersectionality has been lost.

    In 1976, Emma DeGraffenreid and several other black women sued General Motors for discrimination, arguing that the company segregated its workforce by race and gender: Blacks did one set of jobs and whites did another. According to the plaintiffs’ experiences, women were welcome to apply for some jobs, while only men were suitable for others. This was of course a problem in and of itself, but for black women the consequences were compounded. You see, the black jobs were men’s jobs, and the women’s jobs were only for whites. Thus, while a black applicant might get hired to work on the floor of the factory if he were male; if she were a black female she would not be considered. Similarly, a woman might be hired as a secretary if she were white, but wouldn’t have a chance at that job if she were black. Neither the black jobs nor the women’s jobs were appropriate for black women, since they were neither male nor white. Wasn’t this clearly discrimination, even if some blacks and some women were hired?

    Unfortunately for DeGraffenreid and millions of other black women, the court dismissed their claims. Why? Because the court believed that black women should not be permitted to combine their race and gender claims into one. Because they could not prove that what happened to them was just like what happened to white women or black men, the discrimination that happened to these black women fell through the cracks.

    It was in thinking about why such a “big miss” could have happened within the complex structure of anti-discrimination law that the term “intersectionality” was born. As a young law professor, I wanted to define this profound invisibility in relation to the law. Racial and gender discrimination overlapped not only in the workplace but in other other arenas of life; equally significant, these burdens were almost completely absent from feminist and anti-racist advocacy. Intersectionality, then, was my attempt to make feminism, anti-racist activism, and anti-discrimination law do what I thought they should — highlight the multiple avenues through which racial and gender oppression were experienced so that the problems would be easier to discuss and understand.
    [

    Intersectionality is an analytic sensibility, a way of thinking about identity and its relationship to power. Originally articulated on behalf of black women, the term brought to light the invisibility of many constituents within groups that claim them as members, but often fail to represent them. Intersectional erasures are not exclusive to black women. People of color within LGBTQ movements; girls of color in the fight against the school-to-prison pipeline; women within immigration movements; trans women within feminist movements; and people with disabilities fighting police abuse — all face vulnerabilities that reflect the intersections of racism, sexism, class oppression, transphobia, able-ism and more. Intersectionality has given many advocates a way to frame their circumstances and to fight for their visibility and inclusion.
