    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.
