#justsaydisabled

Please stop saying “differently abled”. Do not try to assign us the definition of “disabled” as a dirty word; you are not entitled to decide whether being disabled is okay or not, and it sends the wrong message, especially to children. Not saying things isn’t going to make them disappear, and “disabled” is not a dirty word. It’s okay to be the way we are and be open about it.

If you’re interested in this or similar stickers from my small, human-made business, you can check them out on Vandalpark’s website (linked in my profile).

Thanks for being here ~

[Image description: White text against a grey background reads, “challenged, handicapped, handi-capable, differently abled, divers-abled, special needs”. Beside each euphemism for disability is a red X, indicating no. Below the list of euphemisms is the word “disabled” in larger type, and with a green checkmark beside it, indicating yes.]

Seriously. Cut it out with the euphemisms. #JustSayDisabled
