By definition, it is the idea that various systems of oppression -- racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. -- are systematic, share common roots in a white cisgender capitalist heteropatriarchy, and that these forms of oppression are linked and compounded the more marginalized categories one falls into.
Which better describes your view of this phenomenon:
A. It is a principle around which activism, feminism, and other movements for social progress must operate, as it is important to recognize the ways forms of oppression are linked so we can elevate the most marginalized,
OR
B. It is bullshit, and nothing more than a way of ranking who is the most to least oppressed, flipping the current hierarchy upside down and allowing the most oppressed to have their turn at being the oppressor.
