In my case, ableist. I asked a colleague whom I work with very closely if she would adapt the format of a regular group event she holds so I could participate (it’s not accessible to my or some other disabilities). She also rejected a compromise I offered.

We tried to talk it out, but I cannot see how to deal with the knowledge that I have a colleague who flatly refused to make her event even a little bit accessible. Maybe time will help, but I need to work with her now and time takes a while.
Being a lesbian has created a hurdle for some people. I've been asked not to come to a university event because I'm too lesbian looking. Which basically means I have short hair and don't wear dresses. I don't have tattoos or any piercings or any hair dye. I've had a friend who didn't want me near her children because of it.
