Actually the context for this starts with someone saying that calling out discriminatory behaviour is bad for the disabled community. It's a very nice derail though, ignoring the actually offensive statement to focus on a statement that had a meaning that was very simple to understand in the context of this thread.
While I'm well aware of the history of discriminatory language directed towards people with many varied disabilities , I've never in all my years of activism seen a group,I've been involved with have someone take offence at the "what's wrong with you?" statement being used to question offensive behaviour, so I've got to admit I'm curious where you're from that activism groups focus on this?
