This’ll be quick but want to throw it out.
I was talking to a diversity person at work about ableist language.
She said we don’t want to use words that suggest being disabled is bad.
A person with a disability is not bad.
I cannot think of much worse than being disabled.
For instance, certain disabilities require you to use closed captions, which can mistranslate the words of a diversity expert (although I don’t think that’s what happened).
