@LeonianUniverse@mastodon.stickbear.me Thanks for your perspective. I've come to believe that negative stereotypes in language are part of what builds negative social treatment. If people with impaired vision or hearing are somehow the same as ignorant, uninformed people, then it's easier to disregard our opinions. But even if I'm right about that, it's of course not a substitute for concrete changes in how society treats disabled people.
