Well, I had this typed out and then OP “got bored” and deleted their post, so here’s a thing.
Intersectionality is a framework of understanding and discussing how different forms of oppression play out when they intersect. It’s important to acknowledge how various aspects of someone’s identity can simultaneously influence how they are treated and the discrimination they experience.
Intersectionality is NOT mathematics. It is not some equation that goes like, “I’m a gay person of color: 1 Homophobia + 1 Racism = 2 Oppression Points”. It also doesn’t go like, “I’m a transgender man: 1 Transphobia - 1 Misogyny = 0 Oppression Points”.
Not only are those mathematics flawed since most if not all trans men experience/d misogyny, they’re flawed because that’s not how oppression works. There are no points. There is no equation. And IMO, entering any shared queer space and announcing that “They/I/We have it worse than you!” Is a shitty fucking way to build a community.
(Also, if you’re going to make a discourse post and add a bunch of tags so it gets seen, don’t just delete it when people start disagreeing with you. On Facebook they call that “dirty deleting” and it’s generally frowned upon, because all the labor that just went into responding to your post is now wiped from the internet.)
