LCL Style Guide (April 4): Polite society often tells us that we need to take the dis out of disability. My question is why? Are disabled people supposed to be ashamed of all the ways we improvise and adapt? If so, no thanks. Are we supposed to unlearn what having a disability has taught us? If thats the case, forget it. Are we expected to deny the skills weve developed, in part, as a result of being forced to improve on the limits imposed on us by a society largely constructed and operated without people like us in mind? How on Earth would that help anyone? I know you mean well, but please, resist the urge to diss my disability. Id be somebody else without it. Maybe even somebody named Tad. And I hate the name Tad.
