connection with indigenous Australian



Since the age of 18 i have had a major problem with gambling, spending lots of money even my work wages. one day whilst gambling a woman came up to me and said "do you mind if i sit there" i thought to my self there no need to ask.



she sat near me and said i know how you feel i thought to my self that wired because i am Transgender and there no way you know how i feel. she turned around and said "i have been made to feel worthless about who i am because of the colour of my skin"



the British empire enacted a white man policy meaning that they took the children from there indigenous culture and tried to force them to be white this became known as the stolen generation.



at the this time i felt this woman actually understood me and i made a deeper connection with this woman she went on to tell me about how she was forcibly taken form her parents and made to become white.



but that day change me and help me to stop gambling.
