The hurt caused by discrimination
“I’ve been called that quite a lot. I’ve been called that when I’m out with canes. I was walking down the stairs at college and my leg jerked, and these kids called me. It makes me feel very angry and upset, and I think why call people that? That’s just a horrible name. I think it’s rude, impolite. I actually burst out in tears when I got home. I got very angry and then cried ‘cos I hate, I can’t bear that word, hate it. Just don’t think it’s, nice.”
