Get the San Jose intersection mug.Intersexuality occurs whenever a human being has both male and female physical characteristics. Contrary to myth, intersexuals do not have two sets of genitals; they often have ambiguous genital structures not readily identifiable as clitoris/penis or labia/scrotum, but this is not necessarily true, and intersex people have sometimes gone for long periods of their lives without knowing that they were intersex. They may have gonads of mixed ovarian tissue, testicular and ovarian. They may have unusual chromosomes, for example a mosaic of XX and XY cells throughout the body.

Concept used to describe ways in which shitty social constructs like -isms & -phobias are interconnected (intersectional! geddit?) and not magically separate issues.
Also used to describe how social inequality is experienced as an "intersection" of several forms of discrimination.
For instance, feminism that totally ignores racism is inevitably going to fall flat on its face, and pretending all social issues boil down to "it's all about claaaaaass!" is an exercise in brainlessness.

Get the Intersectional Feminism mug.The idea that all social issues are connected on a deeper level. Intersectionality brings forth the idea that racism, sexism, transphobia, etc are connected and can't be abolished individually. To combat different types of oppression, Intersectionality states that we should all fight against it equally. In short, men need to fight for women, white women need to fight for brown women, women need to fight for trans women/trans men, Christians need to fight for Muslims, etc. Intersectionality is often linked to feminism, and sometimes wrongly confused as being radical when it is not. Intersectionality exludes SWERFS, TERFS, and "white only" feminists.
Intersectionality states that one form of oppression can be shaped by and can shape other forms of oppression. Racism, for example, can be sexualised, or women’s oppression can be racialised – and this happens in such a way that it becomes impossible to view different oppressions as separate.
