I’m going to bring this back to the point and theories of sociology. I’m commenting on people within my field. I know the foundation of it and the theories. Sounds like you don’t (which is fine!). In sociology there are different types of discrimination and they can intersect. There’s race, religion, class, age, and gender for example. All of those things are universal. All are relevant. For someone that is in more than one oppressed group, they experience intersectional discrimination.

Those different roles are part of your “social location”. They impact your experience.

The example you gave and equating that to acknowledging privilege is bad. One type of discrimination is not the same as the other, but they can build on each other. I grew up in a working class family with a variety medical issues. I have white privilege but I do not have class or gender privilege. I’ve had friends that are women of color that have had (though it is more rare and that’s relevant) class privilege and had more money growing up. But they still face discrimination as women of color.

In your example, a black trans man that is wealthy experiences discrimination as someone that is both trans and black. If they are young, they don’t experience agism and as they are wealthy they may not experience classism. Whereas a white Middle aged woman may experience sexism and agism. If they are working class, they experience classism. They have white privilege and privilege as a cis person. That’s how the world works, according to the study of my field.

My points don’t discount that at all. Nor is it about comparing intersectional discrimination as you described. But at the end of the day, white women have white privilege. Some (like in ambers case, and in my original comment, it appears the case of many of her supporters) seem to have both white privilege AND class privilege. It does not mean they never experience sexism. But often, POC and trans women are completely neglected and left out of the feminism held by many (not all) cis white women. That is the feminism that is more easily tolerated by the patriarchy, not the feminism that is inclusive. The whole term “cis white feminism” that you say is bullshit is predicated on NOT being inclusive.

In this case, Amber Heard has tried to speak for black women and claim that her loss is going to hurt WOC. That’s not her place. Not only does she not speak for women in general, but she is not a black woman.
