Can’t really add a severity scale to the poll, but which forms of discrimination do you believe you’ve dealt with on any level?

Nah, no-one really cares about homosexuality anymore, especially those in positions to discriminate.

Ohwait, during the summer I sometimes work in safeguarding with the BBC, and I was told my application for a short post wouldn't be looked at because I missed that they wanted a female, but that was my fault for not reading the listing properly.

Depends what you mean by discrimination really.Institutionally or by individuals?
Everybody has I would think.People Dont generally dwell on it. Last edited by Northern Monkey; 21-07-2018 at 03:38 PM. |

I don't like to think that I am oppressed or anything but mostly for my gender identity especially when I first started socially transitioning not as bad now but it still happens and I feel like **** afterwards

Yes by proximity (my youngest daughter has a disability), but I would say only mildly and infrequently to be fair.
I've also been discriminated against on here by people accusing me of Mansplaining which is extremely sexist, and also unfair, as I wouldn't have to constantly explain things (in a manly way or otherwise) if people weren't so gosh darned stupid . |

Well if we’re counting individual discrimination rather than just institutional discrimination then yep many times.
Racial abuse(for being white),Sexually assaulted by women and a transexual,heterophobia(for being too straight),For hair colour as a youngun,probably more that i can’t think of. Like i said earlier.Everybody experiences some kind of discrimination at certain points in life but we usually just forget and move on. |

"Mansplain" is like a stupid person's version of "patronise".

This Witch doesn't burn

in the 90s after an IRA bomb went off in London, walked into work and one of my colleagues intimated that I should feel ashamed, I told him I had suspended my membership of the IRA so he had nothing to worry about
I think everyone suffers discrimination at some point in their lives, same with bullying it happens to everyone its how you deal with it or let it affect your life that counts
