Do you believe you have ever been discriminated against
 

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?

Sexuality (gay)
Disability (moderate stammer, although it has largely 'gone')
and Physical Appearance

no

im a positive person and try not to look for excuses but rather opportunities

:)

Ugh i didnt add age to the poll. Mods cant edit that in can they?

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.

Or just change the word ‘other’ to ‘age’ if you cant add options plz

This.

I dont get that, do you mean that you pretend it doesnt happen even if it does?

I mean I am thick skinned enough not to let it bother me...if I did notice it.:shrug:
Heaven help a person if they try to ignore me sat in my wheelchair and talk to hubby instead:joker:

i don’t think i have

Depends what you mean by discrimination really.Institutionally or by individuals?

Everybody has I would think.People Dont generally dwell on it.

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

well I've had racial abuse hurled at me a few times and the whole gay thing has always been an issue to people

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 :hmph:.

yeh ok well not everyone is a white heterosexual male as most have to deal with being oppressed just bc u don't deal with it doesn't mean its an "excuse"

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.

False. I discriminate against you every day.

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

What does Mansplaining have to do with Harry Potter though. Except maybe Dumbledore was guilty of it...

But he was a double minority so he gets a pass. Double because he was a wizard, and also, black.

har har

Dumblenoir?

You really don’t like that word do you. It is on a par with ‘nagging’ (also extremely sexist as always directed at women) - I doubt there are many women who haven’t been accused of that by their partner/kids at some point.

False. As i have you on ignore.

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

Or I should have just quoted this
