If you are new to intersectional feminism, this glossary is made just for you!
We understand that feminist language can seem overwhelming or confusing at first, since there are just so many unique terms and concepts under the umbrella of intersectionality. This glossary is designed to clarify the terminology and theoretical concepts that are integral to the intersectional perspective THIS IS GENDERED advocates for. We hope it helps you better understand why we use certain terms in certain entries; the constituents of this glossary are not gendered themselves, but rather key to understanding and articulating how our everyday world is gendered, racialised, classed, sexualised, and more!
Feel free to skim the glossary to check if there are terms you aren’t familiar with or ones you have encountered but are unsure of their exact meaning. If you would like to see something added, contact us and we’ll work on including it in the glossary!
