ChanceyFleetPlease stop using "blindness" as a lazy synonym for "ignorance" in your writing. If there’s one thing about Blind folks: we survive and thrive by being perceptive, observing patterns and responding to cues. Not only is this use of "blindness" rude — it's uninformed. Mistaken. Obtuse. Naive. Counterfactual. There you go — five better ways to say "ignorant" than "Blind"
Søren Markvard Riis@ChanceyFleet This makes sense. I’ve been trying to change a lot about my personal language over the years but hadn’t even thought of this, though it’s obviously akin to other ableist terms I’ve been trying not to use. Thanks for… We’ll, for telling me/us to do better!
