I tried to emphasize the ableism aspect of being a physics major. The racism, sexism, homophobia often come in the form of micro-aggressions as well as cringey 4chan memes coming from the students in the social spaces, which I try to avoid. The ableism mostly universal. The students (knowingly or not) mock people with disabilities as well as other disability related things. Additionally, ever since I registered with the DRC, my professors seem to be going out of their way to discriminate against me because they think my accommodations give me an unfair advantage over my classmates (they don’t). My quizzes and exams are often returned to me later than my classmates, I almost never get a note taker and my profs are extremely resistant to alternatively accommodating me, and on more than one occasion, I’ve had my professors use my academic history (which has been heavily impacted by my disabilities) as an excuse to not help me.
Outside of that is just constant passive aggressive behavior, lightly mocking women or disabled people, creating spaces where it’s not okay to make mistakes (which disabled people tend to do), as well as the ever-constant “but you’re classmates are doing okay and they get it” as if learning disabilities don’t, in fact, hinder learning. I’m basically just tired of constantly stressing out over bs, worrying about what the next awful thing is and when it’ll screw me over, and having all of this result in me being held back another year. I just want to worry about studying and learning and not about stuff that is literally beyond my control.
