Before I changed my ID marker, I used to get detained for up to three hours, singled out and taken off buses/trains, thoroughly searched etc. Ever. Single. Time.<br /><br />Now that I managed to change the marker on my passport (thanks to a glaring error on the part of the State Department, at that!) I have not been detained, stopped or search a single time. Not once!<br /><br />Strange, eh?Sadie-Ryannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032876398720376575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1840022797230622882.post-18269637966874296422010-03-13T03:27:35.041-05:002010-03-13T03:27:35.041-05:00I've been discriminated against for a simple d...I've been discriminated against for a simple difference of opinion, I have no doubt you were singled out by that guard for being somehow "not right" in her eyes.

And you'd be a trouble causer for even bringing it up. :(<br /><br />In fact, sometimes kyriarchy works in such a way that you aren't even sure <i>yourself</i> whether or not what you've experienced is discrimination.Rosemary Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12204378986946967049noreply@blogger.com
