Intersectionality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Intersectionality holds that the classical conceptualizations of oppression within society—such as racism, sexism, classism,ableism, biphobia, homophobia, transphobia, and belief-based bigotry—do not act independently of each other. Instead, these forms of oppression interrelate, creating a system of oppression that reflects the "intersection" of multiple forms of discrimination.
