    Wtf is that event name? That is possibly the most convoluted way to write “disability awareness day”.

      It’s literally the same logic that led to “people of color”, just applied to having a disability.

      But I have to have a way to look down on people who are sympathetic to my cause but aren’t serially online. How else will everyone know I’m more compassionate than you?

      I think it stems from a movement to stop identifying people first by their disability. I think along the lines of the difference between “Here’s a disabled person” or “Here’s a person who happens to have a disability.” Lots of people would rather be first identified as a person.

      Shrug.

        The idea that an adjective being literally first in a phrase, determining what a person “is identified as” first, is ridiculous.
