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)[reply]

The institutional discrimination section is just terrible

Poorly written, clearly biased, scantly cited, often ungrammatical. Please help! Isthistwisted (talk) 06:18, 1 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Information" here that relies solely on fringe sources

I.e. I mean the site newmediaexplorer.org. Which is not an established publisher it seems but a single person ("Robin Good"). Ybllaw (talk) 11:16, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
