If he left that part out I wouldn't care but he did and he brought up the topic of his own thread into this one. I will not stand here and let other people stray off topic and turn this thread into a debate of what shouldn't be called discrimination. It is no one place to tell someone that they aren't experiencing what they are experiencing, let alone on the topic of discrimination. This is how crazy-making starts which is present in every kind of discrimination and sanism is no exception. It is gaslighting and it does not belong in this thread.
