here's a thing that's been bothering me re: intersectionality (which i have complex feels about) when people* talk about it, it's pretty much always race / gender and sure those are important but what about, say if someone is neurotypical? *americans 1/x

Don't worry intersectionality will catch up on neurodivergence now that we're increasingly recognising that women can be autistic too.

(For a long time raising this issue was considered a male derailing tactic despite the fact that you're obviously correct)

One issue is that the boundaries for neurotypicality are fuzzier than mostly obvious physical properties like skin colour or sex. Many people are not tested/diagnosed and may not want to be, or are good enough at fitting in that people may not believe their internal struggles.

It's a lot easier to demonstrate and quantify sexual discrimination that the penalties society imposes on non NT people.
