&gt; &quot;50% black trans women speakers&quot;?<p>Bingo, this seems the natural end (or just the beginning of absurdity, really) of emphasizing equal representation of intersectionality, and it doesn&#x27;t seem productive, dignified, or fair.  Can anyone show that this is distorting the article&#x27;s point?  I don&#x27;t see why transexuality should be minimized more than race or gender, and why it&#x27;s not a component of intersectionality.  Or defend why it&#x27;s actually a good idea to turn people into a tuple of (gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexuality, sex, sex at time of birth, religion, caste, language) and select uniformly (or oppression-intersectionally)?  How are you even going to find all those things out?  (In some cases, asking would be a legal liability, and doesn&#x27;t seem the most appropriate thing to ask.)<p>I&#x27;d rather wear down barriers where I see them and let diversity organically grow, than to constantly be categorizing people and fudging the numbers into something artificially diverse.
