The Future of Intersectionality:

Intersectionality is a coalition of haters. It is grievance groups teaming up to better fight their enemies.

But the don’t ALL HAVE common enemies. Some are even ONE ANOTHER’S enemies.
What we are seeing is the attempt to form a pan-orthodoxy.

If black identitarians want to team up with feminists, you have to know who the REALLY speaks for all black people (Black Lives Matter?) and who REALLY speaks for all women (not TERFs, apparently).
So you end up with a coalition of the arbitrary.

I mean, are trans women a function of patriarchy penetrating women’s spaces and appropriating women’s bodies?

Or are trans women fellow oppressed sisters under the patriarchy?
The Intersectional answer is the latter, trans women are women, and dissenting feminists are TERFs.

TERFs, the radical feminists who HATE MEN, actually HATE WOMEN, they are transmisogynists, you see.
This is what I’m saying: INTERSECTIONALITY, in order to intersect, that is, to work, needs to tightly define what e.g. “feminism” is, or what “acceptable black people” are—it HAS TO narrow down the range of the things it claims to put together.
Or to give a concrete example: Radical Feminism cannot ever be Intersectional because it cannot mesh with Transgender Ideology. So Intersectionality NECESSARILY, by “including all the oppressed”, EXCLUDES all the oppressed who won’t or can’t be included.
If you are (say) an LGBT Activist, and you want to work with a feminist in an Intersectional way, you have to pick the “right” feminist, so you need to know, authoritatively, who the “right kind of feminists” are.

And feminists don’t get to define this!
1 TERFs are not true feminists because they are not Intersectional.
2 Intersectional feminists are true feminists because they are not TERFs.
If you are a radical feminist who objects to the term “TERF,” by the way, I’m comfortable with your disapproval. I’d be happy to talk to you, but I’m not going to accommodate your preferences for my language.

It’s a handy term, and I regard “feminist” as a slur …
