I think we should focus on getting rid of the stigma of saying things such as “homeless person” or “autistic person”

The placement of an adjective doesn’t affect the humanity of a phrase, I’d argue that the more important thing to focus on is the level of respect and intent of the phrase

i voted wrong i got confused 💔 im a trans man, a trans person. part of being a man is the fact that im transgender. it depends, but i prefer acknowledging that i am a trans person rather than acting like its some separate affliction to my personhood

I feel like the difference between things like “autistic person” and “person with autism” is mostly moot, but I do think it’s good to try to get people to stop saying stuff like “autist” or using trans, homeless, and such as nouns. Less important that it’s person first, and more important to at least include that they’re a person.

Yeah, I can’t stand person-first. I’m not afflicted with Autism or being Trans. I AM Autistic, I AM Trans. They are integral to every part of my life and how I navigate the world.
