Adult-minor

An adult-minor is used in a text, such as someone older than the victim of someone who is 10+ years less than them.
Grandpa of catholicity of the gay children: I’m lonely, no one likes me.

Victim: it’s okay, I think you’re pretty.

Grandma of the catholicity of the gay catholic children: how old are you?

Victim: I’m 21 years old

Grandma of the catholicity of the gay catholic children: I’m 34 years old, would you be with me.

Victim: Ofc

Victim is an adult-minor, due to the fact of them being 10 years less than them, therefore the grandpa of catholicity of catholic gay children is a adult-minor hitter.

Minority Stress

The chronic, high-effort psychological strain experienced by members of stigmatized minority groups (e.g., LGBTQ+, racial/ethnic minorities). It’s not just everyday stress; it’s the heavy, cumulative burden of constantly navigating a dominant culture that may be hostile, dismissive, or merely ignorant of your existence. This stress comes from external events (discrimination, violence, microaggressions), the internal vigilance of expecting them, and the effort to conceal or manage your identity to stay safe. It’s like running a marathon while constantly scanning for obstacles and carrying an invisible weight.
Example: Alex, a trans man, feels Minority Stress when he has to mentally map which public restroom to use to avoid confrontation, correct a colleague’s pronouns for the tenth time while smiling politely, and then read a news article debating his basic humanity—all before lunch. This isn't "a bad day"; it's the exhausting baseline tax on his mental energy.

Minority Anxiety

The specific, persistent state of hyper-vigilance and dread that stems from being part of a marginalized group. It’s the gut-clench before speaking in a meeting where you’re the only person of color, wondering if your point will be ignored or credited to someone else. It’s the scanning of a room for safe exits or allies, not for fun, but as a survival protocol. This anxiety is future-oriented, rooted in the learned expectation that social environments are minefields of potential prejudice, rejection, or danger, leading to a constant, draining state of alert.
Example: Maria, the only Black woman in her corporate department, experiences Minority Anxiety every performance review season. Despite excellent metrics, she feels a knot in her stomach, anticipating that her "communication style" might be critiqued as "too aggressive," a coded bias she's faced before. This anxiety is a proactive defense mechanism against anticipated slights.

Minority Depression

A deep, often culturally contextual form of depression that can arise from the cumulative impact of minority stress and anxiety. It’s more than sadness; it’s a heavy sense of hopelessness and erosion of self-worth fueled by systemic oppression, social isolation, and internalized negative messages about one’s identity. It’s the emotional result of fighting a war on two fronts: against your own brain chemistry and against a world that constantly devalues your core being. This depression is often laced with fatigue, cynicism, and a sense of inescapability.
Example: David, a gay man living in a conservative rural town, battles Minority Depression. The constant need to censor himself, the lack of a local community, and the daily drip of homophobic rhetoric from local leaders have led him to feel profoundly isolated and worthless. His depression isn't just chemical; it's a logical response to a hostile environment that tells him he is less than.
