Intersectionality suggests that:

All identities work together to shape one’s experiences
Identities exist in isolation
Disenfranchisement is unique to one social identity
Gender identity is the only relevant aspect

The correct answer is: All identities work together to shape one’s experiences

Intersectionality is a framework for understanding how various aspects of a person's identity—such as race, gender, sexuality, class, and ability—interact to produce unique experiences of oppression or privilege. This perspective emphasizes that these identities do not exist in isolation; rather, they combine and influence an individual's life experiences and societal interactions. By recognizing that all identities work together, intersectionality highlights the complexity of personal and social dynamics. For instance, the challenges faced by a Black woman may differ significantly from those faced by a white woman or a Black man, due to the overlapping effects of racism and sexism. Thus, acknowledging the interconnected nature of these identities is essential for a comprehensive understanding of social inequality and personal experience.
