For example:

• If I say I'm black, regardless of racism I get, this kind of mockery doesn't really happen.
• If I say I'm queer, regardless of homo/transphobia I get, this kind of mockery doesn't really happen.
• If I say I'm black and queer, chuds lose their mind and make jokes like "AND I'M A DEPRESSED AUTISTIC DRAGONKIN BIGENDER ATTACK HELICOPTER DEMIROMANTIC OMNISEXUAL INDIGENOUS PERSON 🤓🤣😂" while accusing me of being an "attention seeker" and/or "special snowflake."

I find it really frustrating when people do this because every time I mention my intersections, the context is totally relevant. I'd rather not focus on my "bottom of the hierarchy" traits unless I have to, and ironically enough, because of responses like this, I have to focus on it quite often because these kinds of comments are a clear symptom of society's bigotry.

Am I not black and queer? What's the alternative? Do you want my experience to not be heard? Am I just supposed to submit to the people bringing me down because of this intersection? Do you just not want me to exist?

These kinds of questions are scary.
