Alright folks I don't want this to be a struggle session so let's operate from "'stupid' and 'dumb' are ableist terms, now what?" I would like people to offer up alternative insults/negative remarks.
While I said I don't want it to be a struggle session, cool headed good faith discussion is also appreciated. This just came up with some comrades of mine and I couldn't find the last post about it so if anyone has the link that would be great too.
Idk I’ve never figured it out. But I also use these words for emphasis and stuff so it’s pretty bad. “Mad” is probably the worst offender in my vocabulary though. I know it’s ableist but I can’t seem to let it go, it’s such a perfect word.
