I opened a private window out of morbid curiosity, and every account that took offense at your link is an account that I block, so I feel like I'm on the right track.

I feel like people's reaction to being told certain language is ableist is a good litmus test for how open-minded they are to accepting new ideas.

Lol, after posting, I almost instantly started seeing reply numbers go up, but I wasn't seeing any of them, ngl, knowing I'd already blocked them all felt fantastic. I made the mistake of doing what you did, knowing what to expect but not being able to stop my self, and it was as depressing as I thought it would be. Not checked again though, which I'm very proud of!

You're spot on about it being a litmus test, I especially hate it when someone I thought better of fights back, which sadly happens often, but didn't this time, so yay.
