This is an internet forum with strangers. For the record, demanding personal details is taboo.

Since they're a stranger, what's taboo about it? I can't imagine anyone being doxxed by the additional information requested...

They didn't demand, they asked. If you seek to represent your position on internet forums then you're going to need to tell people your position.
As access to specific resources is a central part of the complaint it seems perfectly reasonable to request more details. They can be general, like "I can't book a psychiatrist" or "I need specific drugs that are in limited supply".
But, to attempt, I’d first say that I don’t ‘treat’ groups. I interact with individuals. Also, I don’t know exactly what ‘marginalized’ means, but that sounds like something having to do with the way that others have treated those individuals.
So I’d probably say, on an individual basis, I think I treat most people the same. I tend to have a penchant for reaching out to people who I observe to have been ignored or mistreated by others because I find that they are often very happy to be treated normally, and make great friends. I’m not really a big fan of interacting with anybody that demands to be treated differently, if that’s what you mean.
So, yes, I think I’d say that I probably do.
