From the wiki page you mentioned:
> People who participate in Oppression Olympics tend to ignore the fact that it's possible for multiple groups to be oppressed, and necessary to address all those problems, without choosing a single group to get all the anti-oppression activism. Oppression Olympics also tends to ignore Intersectionality, except where the existence of multiple degrees of oppression can help an individual participant "win".
It seems pretty clear that the original article is doing the exact opposite of this. The author's "intersectionality" of a woman of color pervades the entire essay.
