Hmm yes, and name any other professional which doesn't have the same
unwritten rules.
Like normal, disabled people must be perfect and deny their culture and
identity because we MUST be inclusive while everyone else can do
whatever they like and abuse us all the time!
Please split professional language with personal language. You can think
what you want but the disability field (not necessary the movement if
one exists) has norms of its rules which are in direct competition with
the warehousing and death making industries. Too many non-disabled
people pretend to be allies therefore it does make me certainly
suspusious.
Many Thanks, Simon

Hi, it concerns me that increasingly I am feeling there is a sense from
some that if you don't play by certain rules or use certain terms then
you become one of 'them' rather than one of 'us' (i.e. the disabled
movement). Isn't the us and them mentality exactly what the disability
movement is trying to get away from? Sarah.
