I can't just buck up and get over it. I am only asking for reasonable accomodation according to the Americans with Disablities act. I am well within my legal rights, I understand. This isn't just I don't like the word, this is a slur, and it is hurtful. It is not just a way to self-identify, it is a way to exclude those who aren't self-loathing.
I am glad that you are in therapy for this...I didnt' notice until now re reading this that you have Post Traumatic Stress...is there a connection with PTS and the word or is this somehow related to your extreme reaction to the word?
