I'm not sure I buy it, I'm afraid - a middle class white trans man or autistic man is still middle class and will gain hugely from that status. There's a reason murdered trans people generally aren't white and middle class, and I can tell you about the intersection of autism and class all day long. If the Doctor's alienness felt like it had anything like the same level of impact, I might feel differently about that. But the actions required to out him or raise reasonable suspicion are generally well beyond the societally acceptable.
And it's not as if he never messes up. Sure, we can blame the ending of New Earth on serious interference from above if we want, but that ep left me unwilling to trust them enough not to get seriously triggered by all the things Fear Her didn't say about the aftermath because they did it last time - just brushed it under a carpet of "all better now, hooray!", and that's something the kyriarchy loves to do in order to consolidate ground.
