My advice... most of it is probably not discrimination but ignorance. People in general are curious. Most are going to ask questions and some of the questions can hit close to home. Some of people are idiots and will try to just get under people skin because they belive it's funny.

Ether case I find it best to keep the conversation light hearted and never too serious. The curious can get questions answered and the idiots even enjoys a good joke now and again.

The few that do discriminate and hostel about it should be avoided at all cost. Most of these people it's a mixture of being an idiot and upbringing. The only way to get these people to change their veiws is a miracle, brainwashing or death.

I dont think this stuff maters but you asked and incase you are wondering... dyslexics, irlens syndrome, dyspraxia, 3rd generation Irish American. I grew up in the 90s as a punk (blue Mohawk and liked Ramones, Iggy Pop ect...) in the bible belt south where punks are viewed as Devils spawn and fags going to hell.... and I am a Christian. I am a CQT (quality tech) and part of my job if to find other people's mistakes and making them correct it... this makes me one of the most hated people in the job world. People joke and have called me a lot of things but I know most of the time they are just letting off steam so I ether let it be or poke some fun at myself to lighten their mood some.
