Stigma

Stigma

Stain which there is no washing away

Tarnishing of one’s self image

Outcast

Powerful assertion without knowledge

The placement of a label

Horrendous lies projected to justify fears

Embraced stereotypes

Symbol of disgrace among the norm

The practice of blind ignorance and hate

Invalidation of a person’s thoughts, feelings, reputation, or character

Generalizing and negating an ailment or condition

Marking someone as trouble, a failure, or without merit

A staggering lack of respect for the human soul
