Does anyone else feel less protected by society as an autistic woman?
I know this feels like a no brainer question, but I wanna hear other perspectives. Like it's no surprise that the more marginalized you are, the less protected you are unfortunately. However, I want to sort of add to that.
I know that disabled people and women still face systemic problems, but sometimes I feel less protected compared to neurodivergent men and neurotypical women. I'm also hispanic, and sometimes i feel like I'm less protected in my own community compared to my neurotypical counterparts of the same background.
Am I being delusional or dramatic?
I think my body is just used to bad experiences and is being super vigilant when it comes to other people. I don't feel safe.
