for me, it can be hard to talk about people with biid and having biid because of the lack of an adjective describing us ā the best we have is āpwbiidā (person/people with biid) and likeā¦ ābiidicā, or something. sure, āxenomelicā is a term, but it doesnāt really describe those who do not want amputations. ātransabledā is an incredibly controversial term that many, including myself, are not comfortable using.
so, i was thinking ā how about the term ādiagabledā? this stems from the term ādiagableā, pronounced as /daÉŖƦɔeÉŖbÉl/.
diagable primarily comes from ādia-ā + āableā. ādia-ā becomes ādi-ā in front of vowels, but because ādiableā looks too similar to ādisableā, and initially reads more like ātwo ablesā or āboth ableā, itās not the best term.
because of these problems, i used the words ādiagonalā and ādiagnosisā to add the consonant g. i used the word ādiagonalā because a diagonal line connects two nonadjacent points, representing our desire to have some kind of physical disability. the word ādiagnosisā is used for a more important reason ā as a reminder that biid is a diagnosis. biid is a type of neurodivergency, and is not a choice. we donāt want disabilities for ~funsies~ or for ~clout~ or for ~privilege points~, it is because of our biid, which is a DIAGNOSIS.
thoughts? itās perfectly fine to respond if you donāt have biid, just mention that you donāt have it and donāt be ableist.
