Very few blind people have any problem with this sort of stuff. If the meaning is clear then you've really got to be deliberately misinterpreting it to cause a problem, and why would anyone want to do that?

I've never heard of that before. I looked it up and actually just shared an article about time blindness with somebody I know who might find it relevant. Thanks!
That aside, I'm blind in one eye and have serious vision loss in the other. You have my personal permission to use this expression.
That being said, we're all entitled to our feelings. I might not be offended, but somebody else might be.
If what you're saying is you don't "see" time the same way other people do, I think saying you're "time blind" is a reasonably concise and relatable way to express that.

As far as I'm concerned, we have much bigger fish to fry in society right now than this kind of thing. I say lets wait until we have those problems under control before worrying about the little things...

I find that it’s important to remember blindness is on a spectrum. So some might no look blind but are. Idk some of the other blind people I know are quite sensitive as to what to be called. Others aren’t it’s a case by case bases.

Yeah, not offensive. That person has some sort of personal issue. I think it’s just some really sensitive people. What do we need to change all of the blind vocab. There’s many words which use blind.
Blindsided, blind spot, double blind, double blind study, blind as a bat, blind play through, etc.... are these all needing changing, no not really.
