Sorry, I respectfully disagree. I am exposed to a similar phenomenon. I am blind. And blindness is routinely used to indicate all sorts of inabilities. Someone is "blind" to something. The blind leading the blind. The blind men and the elephant. I could go on for days. However, I am OLD enough to understand that I am not going to change the world. And there are also no public demonstrations going on, cheering "disability is cool". I just have to deal with the reality of my situation, as everyone on this fucked up planet has to learn at some point in their life. Policing the language does ntt change people.
