    I don’t know what “intersectional” means, but she’s gay. Or at least bi.

      Intersectional means dealing with multiple angles of oppression simultaneously. Poison Ivy faces discrimination for being a woman and for being queer, as well as being working class. However, her work, which is opposed to environmental exploitation and thus opposes capitalism, does not work on any other fronts against capitalism, making her work less meaningful. If she also fought for queer rights, that would make her work intersectional.
