As a disabled person, I face ableism and ableist language every day. Some people use ableist language without even knowing that it is ableist. I thought it would be good for folks to take a look at the attached BBC article and expand their perspectives a bit.

I just don’t get it. If someone tells me that a word or phrase I’m using is offensive, I’m going to apologize and stop using it. Why is this so hard? Why would people double down on wanting to offend others?

I find the word "ableist" offensive. Also the words, "it" and "this".

So you're openly a bigot, really something to be proud of. πŸ™„πŸ™„

You're a sanctimonious child.

How many fucking accounts do you have that I need to block.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't care if you block me. Just do it and shut up.
