There are three categories of stigma.The first are physical challenges, such as a large scar across someone's face.Second, there is stigma of character defects, such as an adult who is sexually attracted to minors.The final category of stigma is membership in an oppressed group, such as Muslim Americans following 9/11.Someone with a facial scar might cope with societal stigma by largely withdrawing from face-to-face interaction and preferring to socialize online.An adult who is sexually attracted to minors might try to pass, hiding their true attraction and discussing attraction to other adults with friends.Muslim Americans following 9/11 might cope with stigma my emphasizing non-stigmatized aspects of their identity, such as membership in the local softball team and volunteer work at the soup kitchen.
