This happened to me in a mental hospital.

A nurse told me that I would have to wait until she had time to go to the supply closet for a pad or a tampon.  She stood there in the hallway, sneering at me, in no hurry to do anything else other than to tell me that she didn't have time to help me.

When I insisted that I needed the product immediately, she yelled down the hallway to another staff person "Lena needs a pad; could you open the closet and give that to her?"

Things such as these happen all the time to populations that society hates and fears.  

The article of which I have provided the address talks about the "shock" of some lawmakers that these issues are used as part of a power dynamic between prison staff and prisoners.  

DON'T BE SURPRISED!  YOU SHOULD EXPECT AND ANTICIPATE THESE ISSUES, RATHER THAN FACILITATING SUFFERING FOR DECADES UNTIL YOU CAN'T IGNORE IT!

This picture was a joke about me, wasn't it?

This is another page from which what I wrote vanished from the page when I tried to publish it.   I have to write it all again.  I am outside, in the cold.  I can pay more money, to buy something and be indoors so I can write the page again, or I can stand outside in the cold and try to remember everything that it already took me half an hour to write.  While I figure out what I should do, I'll add the address for the term "Orange is the New Black original promotion" at the Images section of Google.  That's the picture that the title of this page is talking about: https://www.google.com/search?q=Orange+Is+the+New+Black+original+promotion&client=safari&hl=en&prmd=inv&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLpNeBkavaAhXE1IMKHS3wDW0Q_AUIESgB&biw=320&bih=460&dpr=2#imgrc=w6jZASmCt6OFiM: White people.  Black people.  Latino/a people.  Asian people.  People of all races and religions.  Young people.  M...

This article is one of the few Google results for "North Korea" today that doesn't immediately blame President Trump for everything; it does that later, even after paragraphs that seem to prove that the problem is China.

I don't tend to think that I'm particularly educated, and it is upsetting that being relentlessly targeted for harassment and other abuse has prevented me from being able to obtain advanced degrees and start a professional life. However, my perhaps uneducated opinion about the Councilor's remarks is that I think that the U.S. and Chinese governments are understanding each other.
