I do cognitive assessments on older adults. They need to take me seriously.

-
do older adults not dye their hair? It's not that rare in London to see older women w fancy colours.
-
Not often in Calgary. I liken it to the Texas of Canada.
-
Oh then understandable. Do they often not take you serious as it is then?
-
Looking young makes me feel that I have to bring up my credentials immediately.
-
yeah that really sucks — I do get talked down to but I can't spot an age factor, def gender though
-
even other women occasionally condescendingly explain basic stuff to me

I was asked by a participant if was 19 a few weeks ago. I'm in my 30s. It was both sweet and horrible.
-
yeah I had a new hair stylist the other day who guessed I was 10 yrs younger than I am
-
I've also had doctors pull weird paternalistic crap on me because I look young.
-
worst example: my manager at the time saying: how will you manage as a girl versus those scientists? 1/2
