Actually, those are situation-specific. See, dumb and idiot are ofc just regular insults, but are ableist if used to describe or insult a disability or the traits of that disability. For example, if a dyslexic person was having trouble reading, and someone called them an idiot, that would be ableist. If someone was being a Karen about having to wear a mask to enter a store, that's indeed dumb. Some words like spaz, slow, the r-slur, etc aren't situational, and always ableist, as they are describing someone as disabled or having disabled traits in a derogatory way. :)

Ha ha! Carry on your good work squire :)

Thank you, Elmo. I also identify as neurodivergent and dealing with my own internalized ableism. I'd like to hear what parts of this you feel are ableist so I can work on those. Thank you again for your feedback!

As someone with CP, My disease is not an extension of me. Therefore it should not be connected to my identity. Abled-bodied people are the one who attach our disease to our identity. A disease is a burden not an extension of identity. Same as if you were to have a cold, the cold would have nothing do with your identity.

@@elmo4032 This is something that I've noticed that the disability community really seems to disagree upon (and which is reflected in the use of person-first or identity-first language). For example, the Deaf community (capital D) embraces this particular disability as a factor of human diversity and many Deaf people use identity-first language as a refection of that. Being Deaf is who they are and Deaf culture is where they feel at home. On the other hand, you describe yourself as "someone with CP," indicating that you prefer person-fist language. Your way of describing yourself is as a person first and for you, disability is not the focus of how you choose to identify. That works for you and I genuinely respect that - it's why I offer both person-first and identity-first options in the video. I personally believe that if we truly wish to dismantle ableism, we need to give all people the same space to describe their unique intersectionality as they see fit. Once again, I am grateful to you for adding your voice to this conversation. When we have these conversations, it can help others to see that people with disabilities are not a monolith - we are individual people, each with our own identities and values.

@@socialworktechwriter I’m just glad ableism is finally being recognized as it is so common in our society. The more we talk about it, the more we can call it out.

No, it was not. It was basically a pathetic attempt at enforced, PC speech. :)

Hi again, Joice. I put a comment on video 2 as well, but here is a link to my website. You may have better luck getting the materials there as opposed to the links on TH-cam. kfitchdesign.com/index.php/disabilities-diversity-inclusion/ Thanks for watching and for commenting!

@@socialworktechwriter Thank you... helpful

Hello, Joice. Thank you for letting me know. You may have better luck getting the materials directly from my website. Here is a a link: kfitchdesign.com/index.php/disabilities-diversity-inclusion/

@@socialworktechwriter I am preparing for a seminar on "Role of research in dismantling ableism"Is there any additional work of yours or you know of? Your content has been too good n helpful

@@joicesteffi8567 I cited Michelle Nario-Redmond's text, "Ableism," is a number of places in the video and would highly recommend reading it for a deeper understanding on the topics I explored.

@@socialworktechwriter thanks a lot..

You're absolutely correct, Bridget. I've been working on adding audio to my videos and print scrips that you can download and put through a reader device, but haven't gotten back to this video yet. Here's an example of what I've been working on lately. I'd love to hear what you think! ==> kfitchdesign.com/index.php/disabilities-diversity-inclusion/

@@socialworktechwriter what if for now you include a transcript of the video in a pinned comment? that way it's easily readable at one's own pace, and it can be put through some text-to-speech software if needed
