And, although I believe you have the right to use the word, it’s doesn’t mean I won’t work hard to explain to the person why they shouldn’t.
The truth is, doesn’t it just come down to showing a little respect. If people with disabilities ask us not to use the word, why not come up with another? It’s just not okay to take away someone’s dignity with a casual remark. Period.
