CYRT, Yes there are a wide variety of behaviours and experiences, and very obviously language and terminology evolves and embraces new ideas and words. However acknowledging those different experiences does not mean that all of us involved in acivism in general and disability activism specifically are required to agree that a common usage of a phrase that many of do not in any way find offensive in specific contexts is offensive just because you say it is. I'm sorry that you're so unwilling to accept the fact that there is not one true way to be an activist, and that you're seemingly incapable of acknowledging that your opinion is not universally accepted and that not agreeing with you does not necessarily mean that they are wrong or being offensive.

Well that's quite the case of pot, kettle and black! so I guess I'll leave it there!

lol what, the cyrt is the one talking about different people having different experiences, you're the one insisting that just because you haven't seen something before means it doesn't exist, kinda looks like you're the one whose unwilling to accept the fact that there's more than one way to look at stuff.

Your lousy English makes it blatantly obvious that you are, indeed, the CYRT in question. This is just sad.

a) no but good try and b) wtf is wrong with my english?

All lowercase, extreme run-on sentence, don't know the difference between "whose" and "who's", etc.

Thanks so much for your helpful corrections! Can't see any instances of other coalie using whose or who's but good luck with your conspiracy theories. I will try to keep my sentences nice and short for you in future.

also hey, guess what? Some people have dyslexia. Some people have learning difficulties. I'm so sorry that "woeful English" offends you so much. you really are a shinning light of access and pro-disability.

I think the point was that the other coalie also misspelled things and had bad grammar; not specifically a usage of whose/who's.

DA

I can't actually see any instances of the other coalie misspelling things.

It's kind of sad that even when pointed out to you you still can't tell what's wrong.

CYRT, no that's not what I'm saying, the coalie I was talking to was insisting that their experience that the phrase "what's wrong with you" could only be seen as discriminatory and offensive, and that everyone had to agree regardless of context.

Let's face it this entire subthread is a massive derail. It started when someone made the offensive statement that calling out discrimination is bad for the disabled community, and was rightfully called out for it. Rather than look at that the coalie responded by attempting to police the way it was called out, because to them apparently righteous anger is more shitty than actual bigotry
