section on sanist language?
edithttps://ivacheung.com/2015/05/sanism-and-the-language-of-mental-illness/
What about a section on sanist language.
sanist language seems to be much more accepted in society than anti-gay language or some other ableist language.
For example, in many contexts saying "spaz" is inappropriate (https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/spazz-lyrics-beyonce-lizzo-disability-experts-opinion-1235121272/)
or calling things "gay" in a pejorative way is considered immature or "homophobic" in many circles. but calling things "crazy", "nuts", and/or "insane" seems to be unchallenged as insensitive to certain individuals within the Psychiatric_survivors_movement.
Maybe consider adding info about this on this article or on Wikiversity if you feel appropriate. i likely won't myself, but i wanted to put the idea out there. limitless peace. Michael Ten (talk) 03:17, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
The institutional discrimination section is just terrible
