Intersections of OppressionsThe gawkers never get it right.
They’ve turned away from me, laughed, thrown rocks, pointed their
fingers, quoted Bible verses, called me immoral and depraved, tried to heal
me, swamped me in pity. Their hatred snarls into me, and often I can’t
separate the homophobia from the ableism from the transphobia.
The gawkers never get it right, but what I want to know is
this: will you?-Eli Clare, Gawking, Gaping, Staring, in Queer Crips, p. 214

Gender reaches into disability; Disability wraps around class;Class strains against abuse;Abuse snarls into sexuality;Sexuality folds on top of race … Everything finally piling into a single human body. …
Where to start? … with the memory of how my body felt swimming in the river,Chinook fingerlings nibbling at my toes. There are a million ways to start, but how do I reach beneath the skin?
Eli Clare, Exile & Pride, 123, 1999
