I'm so sorry that you had to go through this. Don't let her steal your wings, you shouldn't let one single person's opinion lead your life.
Never give up on your dreams and stay strong.

Apply anyway. If the person who told you to ask is a higher up, go to them and further inquire.

That is discrimination! Don’t stay there, that is not right.
