<![CDATA[Female workers with invisible disabilities face potential disadvantages when gendered employment expectations intersect with fluctuating functional limitations and disability-related stigma. This study examines Indonesian employment protections and the legal implications of Constitutional Court Decision Number 130/PUU-XXIII/2025 through Feminist Legal Theory. A normative juridical design employed statutory, conceptual, and case approaches to analyze constitutional guarantees, manpower legislation, disability law, and the Court’s conditional interpretation. An unpublished YRPAD community position statement provided contextual material without constituting representative empirical evidence. The analysis identifies protections against discrimination, entitlements to reasonable accommodation, and corresponding employer obligations under existing legislation. The Court’s decision permits recognition of persons with certain chronic illnesses within the physical disability category following voluntary medical assessment, without automatically classifying all chronic illnesses or invisible conditions as disabilities. The interpretation expands potential access to established protections but does not independently establish workplace procedures for disclosure, confidentiality, or accommodation. Feminist and intersectional analysis indicates that formally neutral performance standards may disadvantage workers with fluctuating conditions, especially where gendered expectations shape employment assessments. Effective protection requires individualized adjustments, confidential requests, accessible complaints, and accountable enforcement. This study contributes a gender-responsive interpretation linking constitutional recognition to substantive employment equality while acknowledging the limits of documentary analysis. ]]>
