PWP 6: Call Me By WHAT Name? Palsys With Palsies
-
- Society & Culture
In this episode, Justin and Rebecca take inspiration from their wives’ work with disability advocacy, and dive into one of the most powerful tools in their belt: language. We figure out what’s so bad about “differently abled,” or “handicappable” and why some within the LGBTQ+ community do not use the word “queer.” We can only speak for ourselves, and what we understand within our own communities. Do not take what we say here and use it to hurt others.
Special Guest: Rebecca’s washing machine! Because she hasn't figured out how to record clean audio, apparently.
