Re: Do you feel excluded?
@leibylucw my point, is that yes, all of this takes work, but its work we shouldn't need to put in. Very few other minorities physically need assistance buying items from a shop simply by nature of the items themselves, and while I'm definitely sure that there are cases of people being refused service due to their gender, race sexual orientation etc, in many countries that do not have direct discriminatory laws, there is usually a pretty strict legislative way around this, EG the equal opportunities act here in Britain, the Americans with disabilities act and so on.
As I said in my PHd, it took a change of law to allow black people to use busses in the 1950's, it didn't take any physical changes to the busses themselves.
All of this takes a needless amount of work and effort and frankly struggle, and makes the hole socialisation and life situation a huge amount more difficult. You do it, because you bloody have to, since the alternative is sitting at home doing nothing or not interacting with any technology at all, but frankly at this stage I personally am just getting sick and tired of the hole thing and completely and utterly jaded about humanity in general.
If you have to take time and effort convincing a cashier at a shop where your buying basic necessities that your the same bloody species, what chance do you have making friends in a social situation.
I'm frankly tired of trying, and tired of putting in the effort, and tired of it leading absolutely no where at all, and where as previously I'd have always advised people to put in the effort and try anyway since the alternative is pretty grim, these days I'm honestly not sure its even worth bothering.
