Speaking from a perspective of “former woman who still looks like a woman to the general public” and “incredibly autistic”
I’ve seen this for years and years and I think it’s two (and probably more numbers) fold
As others have said: misogyny. Minorities have been conditioned that they have to prove why they need something, no matter how small. “I need to explain why I need you to pick up the remote for me, and also explain how it came to be so you don’t immediately assume incompetence”
From a neurodivergent perspective; it seems (western or even just UK as that’s the only country I’ve lived in) society (dominated by neurotypicals) does NOT like it when people ask for things directly. It’s a weird thing where asking for things is obviously not rude, and as individuals we surely know this, but because we believe everyone -else- thinks this, we have to go round the houses to get our needs met.
General people don’t like it when I’m direct.
