I have been tremendously enjoying this conversation about disability, queerness, and transness over in hellofriendsiminthedark 's space, specifically about ableist language and whether or not introspection about ableist language is useful and how criticism makes both of us feel.

I come to that conversation from a place of being frustrated with language introspection, but.... it’s a good original piece, and it is a good conversation, and it is a thoughtful discussion I have enjoyed having. I want to share it, and have done so with permission.
