Sleeps Furiously

Pale creepy girl who doesn't like sunlight.

Imposing relentless weirdo.

Still alone in o-Hello. See the deadly nightshade grow.

metapianycist: [A chart of examples of person-first language] theredladyelebuu: goldenheartedrose: notacountryclub: kittiesnbabies: Examples of people first language (by Kathie Snow) i don’t know why you would call someone a mongoid if you have any sense of fucking compassion, as well as mentally disturbed. but um. there’s a problem here. people with disabilities (and so on) object to using person first language.it’s created entirely by parents. this is NOT advocacy. I think it’s disgusting that the OP’s publication date is this year.  Ugh.  No, using person-first language doesn’t make you more “accepting”.  In fact, it gets you a side-eye from me.  Separating the disability from the person = dehumanizing (and I’m sorry that “dehumanizing” is the best word I can come up with; I know that there are otherkin out there and I don’t want to erase them here).  “Depersonalization” might be the good word for this. Depersonalization is already a term describing a type of psychosis. I’m aware of that, but I feel you could adapt the term for use in scenarios like this one.
