RE: Intersectionality A short story inspired by the @bananafish

in #fiction5 years ago

This is a wonderful short story, imaginative and entertaining, and including the bananafish as a species, whilst incorporating one of the most important core principles in our group, inclusion.

A young lawyer fighting the case for a mum, and her realisation about the discrimination faced because of their DNA - there are a whole host of parallels to real life here, not just on the every day discrimination people face, or on the way elements can overlap, and combine to make things even harder for someone, but also on how its seems. Kimberlee, in her young, accepted that, and accepted the backwards argument of her having an advantage, she knew it was an injustice, but she didn't see the full scope of how the law didn't allow for recognition of dual discrimination. There is the surface level of a story, and below that the parallel to discrimination in the real world, but then it feels like there is another layer, looking at how people grow and change, and how some times we need to reflect to be able to understand.

A very enjoyable entry, and really love how many of our principles are reflected in this! Thank you <3
