This quote is by Janet Mock, a transgender activist. This quote reminded me of the reading we did in class by kimberle Crenshaw called Mapping the Margins. The part in this quote that reminds me the most of that reading is the piece at the end that says people too often fall between the cracks of narrow statements. This reminded me of the part in the reading about women not being able to go to women shelters because of a language barrier or lack of federal documentation. It made me think about how placing requirements on services ends up categorizing people. This categorization can lead to shutting out many people who are in need of these services just because they live an intersectional life.
