Not sure this will be helpful but here goes.

I wanted to be a pilot but am tall (> 6 feet) and poor eye sight (< -10).

I was told at a young age that it would be nearly impossible for me. I accepted my fate for better or worse. Yet you have a better chance than me. Hard to say if it’s worth pursuing.

Nevertheless, I sympathize with you because people can make big mistakes and learn from it but the categorization and stigma remains.

Best of luck to you.
