“Differently abled”

Enough with this phrase, abled people. Here’s why:

Everyone has different abilities.

Not everyone has disabilities.

There is SO much you are saying by this conflation, but the most problematic aspect of this is that you are perpetuating the notion that our everyday lives as disabled people/people with disabilities are special because we do things differently.

Actually, no, our everyday lives are mundane most of the time. We do the same things you do, just in different ways. Saying that those different ways equal disability leads to inspiration porn.
