@mushi I Agree with what you said, and started reading this, "2.1 Disabled People Patriarchy in the UK: The Language of Disability" Clarke, Marsh 2002 (http://disability-studies.leeds.ac.uk/files/library/Clark-Laurence-language.pdf )
But this is just what makes me afaid of asking others.......
"The Deaf people’s movement largely does not identify with the term
‘disabled people’, instead adopting a cultural model and defining themselves as a
linguistic minority. Corker (2002) defines Deaf people as “that group of people with
hearing impairments who are excluded from the dominant areas of social and cultural
reproduction by the perpetuation of a phonocentric world-view.” Deaf people too have
adopted a capital ‘D’ in order to politicise the word."
