Americans, are you self-aware enough to know where you stand on the wheel of privilege?

I am a cis-gender straight white male in the United States earning a six figure salary and only 100k left on my mortgage.
My job is not stable but neither at immediate risk that I am aware of. But not being union protected I wouldn't know until I'm being told to her out.
I am significantly disabled in a visually apparent way with several features well outside of established beauty standards. I am an atheist and have an unconventional (polyamorous) lifestyle.
So I am very privileged but so have some challenges. The aspects that people would target me for tend to be non-apparent unless they know me. The disability is largely in mobility and access, but the fact that I work and try to get around on my own tends to foster more sympathy and respect than animosity.
Despite having clear disadvantages I consider myself overall to be fairly highly privileged.
