Why Intersectionality Matters this Trans Empowerment Month [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

When we think about trans people, what race are they? How old are they? Are they men, women, or nonbinary? These questions hit the core of a discussion academics and activists have had for decades now: intersectionality.



Kimberlé Crenshaw’s theory of intersectionality highlights how trans people, who are already oppressed, face even bigger walls due to also being people of color, women, or elderly.



November is Empowerment Month for trans people, and if we want to show up for the trans community, we must be intersectional about it.



We can’t leave some people behind and help others, not if we are after liberation. Freedom for some but not all isn’t freedom at all it is just privilege.



I think with Trump back in office it’s important to recognize how his administration isn’t just anti-LGBTQ+ but also antiblack, sexist, and ableist.



The most vulnerable, such as trans people of color, deserve the same effort we give white trans people.
