The study aims to explore how rural physical education teachers perceive the intersecting inequalities of disability, gender, and urban-rural identity among students.
Conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 physical education teachers from rural schools across four Chinese provinces.
Analyzed data using reflective thematic analysis guided by intersection theory.
Teachers identified rural girls with disabilities as uniquely marginalized and often 'invisible'.
The perception of invisibility was linked to gender norms, rural structural constraints, and disability barriers.
Teachers' positional awareness influenced their interpretations of these intersecting dynamics.
