Welcome to Dimension 13's most basic understanding of Intersectional Justice. Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds.
Today we're going to learn about the basics of intersectionality, because let's be real, it's time.
Intersectional Justice is like a big ol' mess of identity-based superlatives. It's like a big ol' mess of "I'm a mess of contradictions, hear me out!"
Let's start with the basics:
Here are some examples of intersectional identity in real life:
Jane is a 32-year-old, white, able-bodied, cisgender woman who is also a mother of two and a part-time activist for women's rights.
Jane has to deal with sexism, racism, and ableism on a daily basis, but she's trying her best.
John is a 28-year-old man of color, with a disability, who identifies as non-binary.
John has to deal with racism, ableism, and heteronormativity on a daily basis, but he's trying his best.
Here are some code examples of intersectional justice in action:
IntersectionalJustice = intersectional_identity + social_location IntersectionalIdentity = race + class + ability + sex + caste + age
