--- Quote from: Tova on 27 Sep 2016, 19:43 ---Contrary to popular opinion, there are forms of privilege other than 'white' and 'male.'

Yeah, there's "rich".

And then there is armed with a badge and associated paraphernalia.
Tova:
You missed a few.
* Class
* Education
* Sexuality
* Gender identity
* Ability
* Socio-economic status (doesn't necessarily mean "rich")
* Attractiveness
* Religious (whatever the dominant flavour is where you live)
* PassingAnd more.
All of these forms of privilege can intersect, such that you can be enjoy some forms of privilege but suffer from the lack of others.
--- Quote from: Gyrre on 25 Sep 2016, 22:43 ---Even [being privileged] bears some risks. Specifically if one happens to be neurodivergent (in any form).
--- End quote ---
The point I was trying to make was that "neurotypical" is another privilege that you can add to the list above. It isn't a concern that is somehow entirely separated from privilege, as the quote above implies.

Example: I am fairly well off financially and, while biracial, mostly pass as white. However, I'm also queer, a woman, and have mental illnesses. Privilege is a complicated interaction of diverse factors.
