The harmful ableist language you unknowingly use - eviltoast

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 ask you read my post, because you incorrectly assumed my position just because I told you to behave better.

        Damn, so, you only care about what you think, and don’t care about what other people think…

        Jesu, gods, do you ever look like an entitled twat with that opinion.

          I believe that I’ve put forward my own desire for understanding, as well as my own perspective to try and be understood. If you do not wish to achieve understanding, or to help me understand you, then there’s no discussion to be had. All you’re doing is hurling insults.
