I wish you were right. Gender and race discrimination are still alive and well. (Granted, much has improved - but it's far from solved) And sexual orientation... Yeah, you see how the gay marriage thing is going. It's a long uphill struggle.

But before I darken the mood too much - I can only second the advice of seeing a therapist. And if you don't feel you can connect with the one you see, switch. No point in toughing it out.

I've done it, and let me just say that both the opportunity to speak openly about issues and the proper treatment have improved my life tremendously.
