Post reblogged from Yet Another Kiri Bloggish Thing with 31 notes

Dear SJ people who are fond of talking about “crazies” and “psychos”:

kiriamaya:

I guarantee you that your ableism is not helping whatever social justice point you’re making. In fact, it’s helping to undermine it.

So please stop it. Please.

Nothing much I can add to this.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s people not considering things, or if it’s deliberate. Either way the hypocrisy feels galling. I do also think that maybe it shows how deeply ingrained this kind of language is, and that’s precisely why I’m trying to change it, and have altered my own behaviour.
