Stop trying to restigmatize my act of solidarity.
Play your policing game elsewhere.
Friend, you acting like this is something icky that we shouldn't talk about is stigma. I'm not trying to police your speech. I am trying to get you to think more about why you are policing yours and whether or not it is actually helping.
Without that, your "act of solidarity" is just blind aesthetics and does nothing to actually address the stigma that disabled people like myself and my kids face. Treating us like something unpleasant that is only allowed to be talked about in very specific approved terminology is literally stigmatizing us.

I'm aware of what Solidarity is. I can also just link things, try "Aesthetic Activism."
It makes you and a handful of people feel better that you're using "inoffensive terms" in your "funny meme" and that's it. I'm glad it makes some people feel better. But is that all your "solidarity" amounts to? Changing a word in a meme that it's entirely possible the only people complaining about are being performatively outraged to rep their own "anti-ableism activism" bona fides?
Again I'll reiterate. If you feel that the existence of myself and my children is something so icky that it is only allowed to be talked about in very precise, sanitized, inoffensive terms, how is that meaningfully better than the ableist who just calls us a bunch of r-slurs and leaves? How is your "solidarity" meaningfully different from just saying "Oh yeah, there's something wrong with them. But you can't say it that way?"
