Political Bracketology

I wondered why OP left disability status out of the "intersectional kaleidoscope" (h/t Nate Silver) in the thread. Particularly since "disability justice" is the one topic where the USA is to the left of pretty much everyone.

 

Geez, us WASP males got our butts kicked by LGBTQ++. We've got to up our game.

 

Deaf culture >> Blind culture???

The FDA’s approval in 1990 of cochlear implants that enable some of the deaf to hear set off a political struggle. On one side were the hearing parents of deaf children, who tend to assume that five senses are better than four. On the other were deaf civil rights activists who saw technological fixes for an identity they didn’t view as needing repair as stigmatizing and even genocidal toward “Deaf culture.”

Curiously, this clear predecessor of the Great Awokening, the promotion of deafness as equal to hearing, has never quite taken off the way crazier manias such as transgenderism have. Sympathy for the deaf would seem natural, but other identity groups attract more allies these days.

Looks like Steve Sailer put black women ahead of transgenders at the time of the 2024 election (which impacted the Hispanic male vote)
