What Is Your Experience With Prejudice?
Mostly on the basis of sexuality, gender, and religion.
I'm Pansexual and told I'm going to hell for it.
I'm Fluid gender and told that's not a real thing or I'm going to hell for it.
I'm an Earth Witch and told I'm going to hell for it.
But to be honest, it's extremely mild. I've never been followed around a store because of it. I've never been stopped by the cops because of it. I've never had violence done to me because of it.
There is also the matter of my being plus sized most of my life. I've literally not gotten many jobs I was extremely qualified for because of my size. The assumption is "fat is lazy", when in reality, I always did all of my work in less time than needed. In some cases I also did volunteer work on the side. Most of the time I was one of the most productive people in the job. Now I'm unable to work for several reasons sadly.
There is always someone with a fake profile willing to say shit just to hurt you as well when you are any of the things I mention being. Seems there is a lot of people out there who desire to give others pain, just for being different from them - or worse yet, because they are proudly what they hate in themselves.
Humanity is so divided, and there is no hope of us ever getting over our differences and acting like decent people it seems. We are far to willing to use hate, violence, and economic oppression on those who are different. We will always be at war with each other in every sense of that term.
Personally I don't care what you do, who you are, what your religion or lack of religion is, and so on - just be you, and DON'T hurt anyone, and you will be in my mind a good person, even if I don't agree with your life choices, I will still have love for you in my heart.
