Who produced the idea of "people with disabilities"? People who made a living working for advocacy groups that spoke for disabled people, which however well intentioned, is infantilising and patronising, or groups led by and for disabled people?

Who needed to invent linguistic constructions to remind themselves disabled people were human? The dominant majority of the oppressed minority?

Here's a longer explanation, https://www.inclusionlondon.org.uk/about-us/disability-in-london/social-model/the-social-model-of-disability-and-the-cultural-model-of-deafness/

Thank you for the compliment that you find my argument odd. If the positions were different and I was telling you your ideas about sexism and lived experience were odd and confusing, I would consider my behaviour patronising.

I wish you many more encounters with disabled people who challenge your implicit bias from a position of power.
