This position holds that intersectionality works in theory but falls short in practice. It accepts that its principles are sound, but argues that the practice is impractical and overly complex, and that it is often weaponised — so it fails to lay the groundwork for true equality.

- Intersectionality is impracticalThe theory of intersectionality is good, but what feels like endless labels and considerations are impractical in real life.
- Intersectionality is well meaning but too complexThe theory of intersectionality seeks to encompass all circumstances and backgrounds. But by its broad and complex definition, it alienates the very people it seeks to protect and possible allies.
- In practice of intersectionality is weaponisedThe theory of intersectionality seeks equality and accountability but it is weaponised by extreme views in practice.
