Thinking about the language of disability. All the words to describe people who are physically different from the "norm" are negative. Disabled, handicapped, cripple are all viewed in a negative light as words. I'm sure I'm leaving out many others. The only one I know that's not all negative is differently-abled. I find this one cheesy. I'm not even sure why. I kind of like post-normal. Anybody else got anything different or better?
