[META] Ableist Language on My Cat Website :marseyraging:

I'm tired of seeing comments and thread titles which use ableist and neurotypicalist language on this website. Finally after seeing a thread with the word "Russoph*bia" in it I couldn't stand it any longer.

We need to remove all of this hateful language by banning the use of -phobic/a unless absolutely warranted in the case of addressing actual phobias as to do otherwise would be trivializing to those folk who have to deal with the ramifications of living in a neuro-normative society.

DOWN WITH THE NEURO-NORMATIVE SOCIETY! Neuroatypicomisia, transmisia, fatmisia, homomisia, russomisia. ALL NEED TO STOP AND WE NEED TO BAN THE USE OF TRIVIALIZING TERMS.

Please sign this petition to ban the use of trivializing language

We allow for all true phobias to be expressed as necessary.

This is a deeper issue with the coupling of trivializing terms like fatphobia with fatmisia. It is harmful to people who actually have phobias of people of larger size!
