Ghosting!

[Opinion]
Do you know what that is?

Merriam – Webster dictionary defines it as…
ghosting
noun
ghost·​ing ˈgō-stiŋ
Synonyms of ghosting
1
: a faint double image on a television screen or other display
also : the formation of such images

2
informal : the act or practice of abruptly cutting off all contact with someone (such as a former romantic partner) usually without explanation by no longer accepting or responding to phone calls, instant messages, etc.
But is also applies to other things, in my case, trades people.

Case #1 The guy mowing the lawn at the cottage, he was doing it for about a year and a half. One I am coming back from grocery shopping. And he sees me… and stares… and stares. I never seen or hear or contacted again.

Case #2 The guy replies from my Facebook post who had a number of people recommending him and he reached out to me and he said that he would be out the next day. He never showed up, never replied to my text.

Question: What conclusions do you draw from these examples?

As a trans woman I always have little nagging thought that maybe, just maybe there might have been some discrimination.
