One of the questions that I get asked when I tell my story about the bank, is why am I fighting them? To quote the Doctor, "Because you didn't know her name." The CEO that I told about the charges of discrimination against me by HR never ever pronounced my name correctly. My legal name is Leah it's pronounced lay-ah like star wars, but I get lee or lee-ah. She called me Layla or never used my name at all. As a leader, when someone makes a serious complaint that requires investigation (not 3 days) you should know their name.
That just made it clear that I didn't matter. I learned a lot from the Doctor when I was at my lowest and one of the things I learned is that everyone is important. I know that the Doctor would fight the injustice done to me. He would be appalled by the treatment I received because I am different. Since the Doctor is only a fictional character in this universe, I have to stand up for myself.
On the plus side, I'm alive. Alive can be sad because depression and Hashimoto's makes life complicated. However, I did lose a bit, but not enough to kill me. I will make sure people know what the bank did because they should not be allowed to get away with it
So I am doing what I can because I matter. It took me a long time to get to that point. Alive is sad when its over and I hope that it won't be over for a long time. When Robin Williams died it was sad because his life, which brought light to so many others' was over. I'm still alive and I want to make a difference. That company tried so hard to bring me down, but they couldn't take the Doctor away from me. I will fight until I can't anymore because that's what the Doctor would do and we all know that I might be a time lord. We all know that being a time lord is lonely, but for now I am here to make a difference, so I will do battle with words.
