Like most conversations about ableist language, the actual point is deeper. At least to me. The reason to examine the language isn’t simply the word choice, but rather the unexamined relationship to the societal default. Language is the entrance to which we can have a larger conversation.

So like the common examples that people are most tied to using (stupid, dumb, crazy, insane, idiot, etc.). The language is bad and annoying, yes. But the larger issue to me is equating those things to being bad or wrong or a negative thing.
