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've got accounts all over the fediverse (in case one instance goes down or some fascist or tankie admin bans me.)

The give away is the fact that they keep bringing up race. They have been called racists, intolerant, bigots and are butt hurt about it so they're looking for something to throw back at people to make themselves feel better and to use as a bludgeon to silence the people calling them racists, intolerant, bigots, etc.

It's concern trolling. Don't take them seriously.
