This, absolutely. I actually care passionately about racial, gender, orientation, and economic equality. I've been an activist for these causes for nearly my whole life. I want more people to care about these issues and speak up about them. However the mainstream manifestation of intersectional activism is opposed to this, apparently predicated on the notion that speech is a zero-sum game, and that if you're part of any kind of majority-group, you can't be on our side. This both morally and strategically wrong: morally because it is founded on a notion of race/gender/culture/identity essentialism that is the entire fucking thing I've spent my life fighting against, and strategically because the only winning condition is one where you get the majority on your side -- and telling them how much they need to shut up will never, ever do that.
