And yes I do feel very privileged being a gay woman in brazil where the rate of crimes against gay people rises at about 30% per year.
A country where conversion therapy is actually getting traction and might get approved as legal and can be prescribed by doctors.
A country with about 12 billion people who can't read or write.
Where women who are victims of rape run the risk of getting raped again by the police if they try and press charges.
And a country with 12% (and rising) unemployment rate.
Such privilege
