I've said this before and I'll say it again: I am legally blind and I'm 100% ableist because my daily lived experience is that being disabled is indeed both abnormal and a negative. Being disabled is is a constant burden and attempting to paper over that with politically correct language attempting to sweep that under the rug is both condescending and more than a little offensive.
