Discrimination SUCKS!!!!!!!

I'll warn you now, there will be much complaining in this blog.

Just like the title says, discrimination sucks!!!  As many reading this may know, I have been looking for a new roommate pretty much all month long.  Here I sit one week away from the day I need to be out of my current apartment, and still have not found a new roommate or place to live.  I have contacted over 70 people in response to Craigslist ads posted by people seeking roommates.  How many responses have I received?  Less than 10.

Now I am being upfront with everyone I contact, and telling them that I am transgender.  I have no way of knowing why people aren't responding, but it sure feels a lot like discrimination.  I have even had some people tell me they aren't comfortable with me being transgender.  This is discrimination.  Plain and simple.  It sucks!!  I hate it!!  It's getting me so upset.  Judgmental people really suck.

I'm done ranting for now.  Maybe someday people will understand that transgender people are nothing to be afraid of.
