Yeah. That's why the Statement of the Combahee River Colective was of such world-shaking importance. The concept of intersectionality had always been bouncing around in some sense but the Combahee River Colective made it a concrete part of theory and started us exploring and codifying the concept.

shoutout to the combahee river collective statement, absolutely critical text. if people like that one, i also recommend cathy cohen’s “Punks, Bulldaggers, and Welfare Queens”
Thanks for the link. Right now I have a splitting headache so I'll have to read it in full later, but the opening statement is fascinating.
It's good stuff. Even fifty years later it's still so important.
