Discrimination of every sort is awful and can really make you want to kick someone - Yes, I can remember times where I couldn't even speak for an hour since I was so angry after a random ass-grab (I did yell LOUD at that young man by the way, don't worry) I'm sure my doctors wouldn't even have been able to measure my blood pressure on the average scale...

I've explained recently to my boyfriend that it 'builds up'. I can take one 'compliment' easily, the second one that day is still okay, but the third one I might 'explode' even though it was honestly a well-meant comment :-) No surprise these things influence health long-term.
