The state, as the <strong>legitimate source of law, exercises symbolic power<\/strong> by defining social categories. When the <strong>state defines &#8216;woman&#8217; strictly as &#8216;biological&#8217;<\/strong>, it sets a precedent that may be used to delegitimize lived <strong>experiences and alternate identities, affecting real lives.<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong> Intersectionality and Gender Justice: Kimberl\u00e9 Crenshaw\u2019s theory of intersectionality<\/strong> suggests that identities like <strong>gender, race, and sexuality do not exist in silos.
