I was let go from an adjunct online teaching job at a community college in my state because I was denied the religious exemption that I applied for. The HR Dept. there is very smug. So I filed a complaint with the State Civil Liberties Dept back in Jan 2022. The school actually hired a lawyer to deal with it (probably cost them more than my semester pay). I had to file so much paperwork for months and have not heard anything back from them since Dec 2022. Well, today I received notice from them that I have been found to have "Probable Cause" and they are scheduling a "Conciliation." I have no idea what that will do for me (someone else has my job) but it feels good to at least hear that I got this far. It was so much paperwork that I wanted to give up. Looking over all that paperwork, I cannot believe I did it.

^^ This - "not only was working in that role a life long dream, but the impact from being let go from that role and the fact that it was based on my religious, civil rights as well as body antimony, has rocked the foundation of my being. It continues to impact every aspect of my life since then."
Now (actually past due) is a great time to grab some sessions with a counselor / shrink. ;-) You have zero to lose and everything to gain. Note that when you get real serious with them, discovery can be a two way street. Be careful what you "document" in emails.
