It was her personal story after all. I don’t know how the people in these videos are relevant to Jehenne’s experience as described in this thread. Do you have the courage to say that to her directly, rather than talk about her, right in front of her, like she doesn’t exist? That’s pretty disrespectful and dehumanizing. Is that the line of discussion you want to take in a thread with a ‘Serious’ tag? I’d think very hard about your next move if I were you.
No doubt can exist whatsoever that I suffer abuse due to my appearance, as there have been multiple times (have lost count) when I have been walking on public streets in the community where I live (Cedar Rapids, Iowa), and complete strangers come out of their homes to confront me as to, "What are you doing?" in their neighborhood. I was at a business in a nearby city (Marion), and a customer associate told me, "I see you out walking". I have also had the police called on me, but, thankfully, they just drive by; usually, such happens when I am traveling and stop in some small Iowa town to finish my daily step count in some new area. I had a Linn County sheriff's deputy who spent a significant amount of time shadowing my whereabouts one day in one small town (Coggon) after some woman came storming out of her house at me, before turning around and going right back inside without uttering a single word. I am not sure if he was there to protect me or he thought that I was going to do some petty theft, or whatever. In any case, it was nice walk; I got to see some purple wildflowers.
