and i really do not think it gets enough attention or is as prominate as it should be.

Feminists fought injustice, for decades we have fought it. We fight for reproductive rights. We fight to own our sexuality, we're beginning to pull ourselves out of the white, cis, hetero trap-- a trap that can only lead to more injustice. We MUST not get trapped into it and embracing intersectionallity IMO, is the best way--at least it's my way.

but honestly, in the fem movement, i think this is ONE of the top priorities, for all of us. so glad to see you included, and of course you would.

thank you for this post
