Ableist

Someone who discriminates against people with disabilities, mental or physical. Can be unintentional, but is just as often intentional and malicious, which is why it’s discrimination. Basically, discrimination is being a dick to anyone of any group of people with a trait or aspect of their lives that they didn’t choose and cannot control, like race, sexuality, gender, functioning, etc. Ableism is NOT: - something made up by annoying people who apparently get ‘triggered’ at everything - something that should be joked about or treated casually. Ableism is a serious issue and affects the lives of many people. TL,DR: if you’re an ableist you’re a prick who belittles disabled people (whether intentionally or unintentionally). Don’t be a prick.
