5 Ways To Be More Intersectional at Georgetown
- Look both ways before crossing
- When you commit yourself to any discussion, you have to understand where each and every side stands and what they’re trying to say and why and how they’re trying to say it (along with what is actually being said). It’s important to connect with everyone, from Judith Butler to Dennis Prager.
- Know where you’re driving—literally
- Remember that you’re reading this article on stolen land. Acknowledge it. Sit with it. Revel in it.
- Don’t judge other people for their bumper stickers
- Whether they’re completely in the nude, wearing a KN95, or sporting a hijab-inspired secular accessorization, YOUR 👏 PEERS’ 👏 AESTHETIC 👏 CHOICES 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 FOR 👏 YOUR 👏 EVALUATION. People who are judgmental should kill- sorry, un-alive themselves.
- Honk your horn when necessary
- If you notice that someone in the discussion is using racist, sexist, or otherwise infertile language, use your discernment. Call them out—or call them in. (But remember that Jill Stein’s utopia isn’t for everyone.)
- Keep your eyes on the road
- Have you heard the phrase “save your breath?” For some of our immunocompromised folx, that language takes on a more urgent meaning, so it’s important to use your voice as effectively as possible—always keep the acronym AICMSFTDORC-BQRP (am I claiming more space for the development of radical care-based queer revolutionary praxis?) in mind before contributing to any discourse. Hoya 2Saxa!
