You can't say that!

When I did a course at work we were told thar it was offensive to say "a disabled person" it was "a person with a disability". "wheelchair user" rather than "wheelchair bound" and "Person with a hearing imlarement" instead of "a deaf person".

We thought it was nonsense until we were shown a video of people with disabilities who explained the reasons why. It was a real eye opener, showing that people did not want to be defined by their disability.

Funny thread. I have a "sensitive bladder" so must not laugh too much.

Brilliant!

As a hospital SW I was told by the powers above that the patient I was seeing was not a dwarf but was vertically challenged. I discussed this with the patient who said: "I am a dwarf, I was born a dwarf and I will die a dwarf." Good for him!

It's when the fur babies cross over the rainbow bridge that I lose the will to live
