I’m starting to suspect all of the words we use as pejorative nouns for people are problematic. New one today: cretin.
Apparently, it actually was the term used for a person with disabilities caused by lymph node disorders and insufficient iodine (that’s why we have iodized salt!). But yeah, it was mainly folks with intellectual and physical disabilities, with some having visible deformaties….so going to toss that one from my vocabulary.
I also have mixed feelings about the terms “idiot” and “moron” too, as they have a similar origin as literal diagnoses of intellectual disabilities.
Maybe there’s something inherently problematic in replacing a person’s humanity with an insulting noun? 😅
@JoscelynTransient i tend to either reach for something like "poophead" or "shit", or I'll say they have an ugly soul or a disgusting heart or similar. it's pretty easy to insult people without reaching for ableism, I think. just don't make it about intelligence or the body. (and "disgusting heart" isn't literally about their heart, but about their character, and that's often where the problem is, right?)
oh and I think "ignorant" (adjective or noun) is non-ableist too as far as I know.

@jasmine just immediately before my egg cracked, I had married a trans woman who is a trans studies professor…so I think I was less transphobic than the vast majority of cis people. 🤭
I think I was always less transphobic and homophobic than the people around me - but because I grew up in a conservative church in Nebraska, there was still some transphobia and homophobia I had internalized. I also cringe now for saying some biphobic things to a bi friend as late as 2013. But I started really working on things and studying feminism, and grew a lot those next few years. Just a few years later I would start dating my wife, who is trans. It was a process to learn and grow, but I think I was more open than some to it.
