I'm somewhat new to this list and speaking as someone with an 'impairment'
could somebody please explain why everybody keeps using the term
'disabled'? I find it highly offensive. It implies I am somehow
defective, not quite right and not normal. I would like to think that
these terms are merely socially constructed and the only the uniformed
opinions of lesser 'able' mortals.
