You cannot use an ableist slur like “dumb” or “stupid” without contributing to ableism

Have, had, and will continue to do so.

Dumb has nothing to do with disabilities. Stop telling a disabled woman how to speak about having a disability, and what is and isn’t a slur to people like myself. :)

Btw the diversion is weak. How does an idea kill someone?

Disabled people can still be ableist.

An example has already been given for how ideas can hurt people.

Your example does not work in the slightest, since it’s actually people acting on ideas, and not ideas that are harmful.

You’re being ableist telling me how I can and can’t speak about terms used to describe my own disability. Maybe you could take a second off of being a self appointed champion that none of us want and listen when disabled people tell you things.

You do not speak for all disabled people, and I personally find them offensive so don’t apply them to me or my thoughts, thank you.

Says the one speaking for all disabled people. So, to be clear, nobody is allowed to point out illogical or unintelligent things you say because doing so is ableism? Or they can but only in the most detached and clinical possible way because casual terms are terrible abuse towards someone who might not even be disabled.

That’s Fuckin hilarious. Ok it’s ableism to disagree with me or for you personally to talk at me now.
