1·2 years agoHonestly “differently-abled” seems more like a media term than anything linked to either handicapped communities or scientific research. Imho it’s kinda stupid.
And people speaking on behalf of marginalized communities is a real issue that does a lot of harm. e.g. Autism Speaks
An expression I encountered helping my roommate work on their education master was “handicapping situations”. It’s a bit unwieldy but I like that it conveys that someone is handicapped by a combination of an ailment, an activity, and a lack of accessibility.
In other words, someone who’s paraplegic isn’t in a “handicapping situation” when gaming in a chair.
Or someone who’s dysorthographic isn’t handicapped as long as their not trying to write anything.
I use handicapped as a shorthand for myself but it’s still a neat concept imho.
I might be mistranslating some stuff since said roommate is French.
PS: about the dance, blame it on people insisting on using our disabilities as insults.
PS2: You’re always gonna hurt someone at one point or another. But it’s not hard to try not to and apologize when it happens imho.

1·2 years agoYup but imho it doesn’t stop there.
Once the word stops being used as a medical diagnosis it will slowly stop being associated with learning / mental disabilities.
Nowadays not a lot of people associate saying someone is an idiot with any social minority so it kinda is just a disparaging qualifier.
Retard just happens to currently be in that sour spot.

Moron is a slur imho.

1·2 years agoI don’t think so since stupidity is a trait not a slur afaik.

It’s not like there’s a short list of things to dislike about fascists without punching down on social minorities…

1·2 years agoI’m just saying that even though their beliefs are dumb (in addition to being evil) they’re otherwise relatively smart men in some regards. Also they get a lot of free councel from fascist PACs.
We’re doing ourselves a disfavour by underestimating them imho.
The fascs have a knack for quickly identifying the codes of new means of communication (mass media in the 30s, internet now) and we need to put some extra effort in it as leftist activists.

7·2 years agoIt’s one of the fascists’ tricks.
You don’t instinctively recognize them as a threat when you hear “Proud Boys” or nerd ass shit like “power level”, “frenworld”, and “Grand Wizard”…
It’s on purpose.
Pro tip: It’s ok to forget trans folks’ names as long as you don’t deadname then \o
Oh no someone forgot my name, asked me what it was and then used it.
- no trans person ever
Edit: I tend to use the same name for everybody: you.
We can’t even agree on what makes a human.
Some definitions use the homo clade, other are specific to the homo sapiens species. Otoh I’m pretty sure most people would consider Neanderthals humans. Homo Sahelanthropus I’m not so sure.
btw your OP then clarified that their comment was sarcasm.

Why couldn’t it?

I said I spoke in general not about one specific end of the gender binary so I don’t understand why we’re restricting the subject to men.
