Regarding your link, I don't have time to read it (did skim it) but I'm talking about personal levels of discrimination, not governmental. If you want to talk about institutional discrimination, some may have it worse, I know a trans girl whose operation is being repeatedly pushed back. I can see why, given the strictures on NHS funding, but it really has made things miserable for her.
Your sister may have just had a shitty employer. Someone I knew told me of finding someone literally crying in pain due to RSI, and the employer's response was telling them to take painkillers. There are bad employers, for sure. Mine aren't.
Does your sister's experience invalidate mine? No. Does mine invalidate hers? No. We are stuck, perhaps on terminology of what discrimination is, or perhaps I've been very lucky. People have been extremely decent to me, that's all I can say.
My fear is that by talking up the alleged stigma, we're reinforcing or even creating it. I hope that makes sense.
