I believe microagressions towards disabled people are expressed through behaviour, lack of empathy and lack of objectivity rather than by using specific words.

This article gives some good examples. https://medium.com/@sheribyrnehaber/disability-microagressions-aka-ableist-things-people-say-89c3fffd11a1

If you want to talk about ableism to your students I suggest you discuss how both the built and virtual environments are constructed without any allowances for people with different abilities.

I really dont think anybody finds them offensive but maybe its just because they're so commonly used

The real question is how many of the same post are we gunna see in just this week.

Once again. Sorry!!! I’m an educator trying to make my space safe but I’m doing so I violated yours. Apologies! I will be more mindful in the future!

No offence, treat us human and most of us won’t really care what is common speak but be ignorant and just remember, blind and shotguns are not usually a good combo!

It's alright just a little frustrating to see all over this sub. I think mods should defo make a star post for things like this so people arriving on the sub with similar questions can get all the answers they need.

I don't even know what the hell ablest even is. I do however, know that political correctness has gotten way out of hand around all this.

I guess it’s just blind luck I find it fine. I especially like I’ll see you later

I'm not going to get on my anti-leftist soapbox... But yeah.

This is NSFW, where are the titties?
Emms246 2 points 3y ago
I never thought I'd see the day r/Blind had NSFW lol
[deleted] [OP] 1 points 3y ago
I posted one thing on a NSFW thread once and have since deleted it. My entire account was flagged. It’s annoying
