One Size Doesn’t Fit All: Identities and Intersections
Most of us have more than one identify we use for ourself; our age, race, ability level, religion, sex, gender, orientation, height, kinks, etc. Moreover, we also have different identities depending on who we’re around. Add to that the different roles we fulfill in our communities, and sometimes it’s hard to keep it all straight.
