yourejustacopyofanimitation:

if you believe that telling disabled people with language issues to change the words they use to describe things is an adequate method of fighting ableism, you are contributing to the voicelessness of disabled people and the crushing pressure on them to speak in ‘acceptable’ ways that they find difficult or impossible

in other words, being ableist

Thank you yes this always.

    Yeah, I personally think obsessing over ableist language can be ableist in and of itself.
