When Raychelle Burks said she was hypervisible as a black woman but invisible as a human being (I am remembering, it was along those lines) I thought yes, I also felt hypervisible by being in a female body and yet my humanity was invisible to most others for my whole career. That iceberg is absolutely correct; the endless, pervasive, unaccountable hydra of hostility I faced was, to my utter amazement because it was so obvious, invisible to all but one or two. I think it is the blindness to the hostility women face which I find most shocking.
