was on a bit of accessibility training today and the sighted person was demoing a screen reader and talking about people who are blind. He started talking about how most screen reader users don't see and then how all blind folk are naturally slower at doing stuff online. If I hadn't objected, I don't think they would have clarified that what they meant was that on sites and so on that aren't accessible, or designed inclusively they would be slower. However; this is the kind of thing that gets under my skin and I may over react to but is a legitimate issue in terms of framing people with disabilities when giving #a11y and training on accessibility testing

@gtbray ya it's a real problem in the industry
