Saving this
but my most difficult student loved this essay
hahahahahahahahahahahaha
One of my favorites
and then I look and you have been around
I knew that the political memory of most people was about 3-5 years but that's different from encountering the reality of it.
And I am just telling you you're a cop.
Until the ableism of the OP is recognized as such, the word "cripple" is doing the work
I have known cripples who despise your sanitary speech
The unspoken disdain in the OP is far more damaging than the word "cripple."
You are being a cop.
Also known as crippled people or cripples.
Enforcing polite language makes you feel better but all cops are bastards.
Tedious
Imagine being so creatively bankrupt
A crude euphemism for a disability. Crippled people exist you know.
There is some amount of ableism at work and I don't know how to feel about cripples getting access to a nightmare parody of equality.
But yes there are people who lack the capacity.
