Thanks for addressing this constant issue from a new viewpoint!
What you say here is particularly wise: A body doesn't have to be visibly different from the default to be marginalised. Most POC/non-white characters in visual media have relatively pale skin and european-ish features thanks to racist casting choices, yet are still treated in a racist way by canon and fans, and it's still racist to draw them as out and out white. And as someone with an invisible disability I know that people can still look at you funny when you don't look "different" at all.
