The chapter provides a deeper examination of the ableist nature of public space. This focuses on who is doing the intruding and what their potential motivation says about how disabled women are viewed. What is revealed is the benevolent ableism which draws on stereotypes of disabled people as weak and in need of assistance. For participants who experienced sexual abuse from men, the motivation was similarly dismissed based on the notion that disabled women were not sexual beings and must have misunderstood what was happening. These important findings are examined in relation to the intersection of gender and disability and how some bodies are seen as undesirable, damaged and/or weak. The chapter details new insights into how perpetrators of intrusions are both men and women. The chapter also provides an examination of the emotional labour required of disabled women by looking at their reactions to ableist intrusions. It will show how they balance concerns about safety and risk while also wanting to demonstrate their frustration at the ubiquity of intrusions. The chapter will discuss the way that atmospheres are felt and sensed, leading to a reflection on the role of instinct in assessing unwanted intrusions.
