"Would it surprise you to learn that even gods carry wounds like that? Given our long lives, that's a very long time to bear a bleeding wound."

"No, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. I think that everything that can hurt can carry a wound like that." Aaron looks over at her then giving her his attention as he listens to the rest of her words, nodding "I have no idea what it's like for a God or Goddess to carry around a wound so sensitive for their long lives but I'm sure it's something that I don't want to experience any time soon."

i don't think the response to people downplaying aaron bushnell's autonomy via sanism is to insist that he wasnt mentally ill, because REAL crazy suicidal people are incapable of making lucid purposeful acts out of genuine political beliefs. even if his suicide had other factors, he used his death in an attempt to express the brutality of genocide & the only proper way to honor him (especially for the US government) is to support Palestinian liberation.

is it offensive to call pwdwarfism "dwarfs"? ive heard a few people use it to refer to themselves, is it akin to reclaiming a slur? what are other words i can use if so?

Hello,

So, according to this post by @a-little-revolution, which is a video featuring a few people with dwarfism discussing the terminology the prefer, "dwarf" is an iffy term. It could be taken either way by people with dwarfism, some see it as an offensive term, others are completely fine with it, so it's probably best not to use if if you don't have dwarfism. If someone with dwarfism says it's fine for you to address them in that way, it's fine to refer to that particular person like that, but it's not a term they're all comfortable with

More acceptable terms include Little Person and person with dwarfism in an activism setting. But outside of that context, just refer to them by their names.

Hi lovely asker

So my thing is outside of medical circumstances and activism sorta talk, I don't see a need for the terms of dwarf, little person, and so on. If someone comes up to me and ask why I'm short (which has happened a multitude of times) I just say "I have a type of dwarfism". Most of the time people don't believe me especially because I have proportional dwarfism which is a less uncommon type of dwarfism that people don't take into account.

And the conversation of "well what do we call people that look like you" well you call us by our names. If you don't know our names just say "The shorter person, the small person" just normal descriptive terms.

If you're doing activist, or advocating, the general term that is used as a whole is Little Person/People or LP for short. If you're talking about another person, you're probably close enough to that person to know what terms they prefer. Midget is an absolute no, anytime and always. Dwarf—as Aaron said—is iffy with a lot of people. Dwarfism is another that some people like and some people don't. Little person is the most accepted one and even a lot of organizations have this as their names. Short Stature is one I'm honestly not sure about because people with proportionate types of dwarfism (Tuner syndrome, prader-willi syndrome, Noonan syndrome, and many more) are usually given the secondary diagnosis of Short Stature Syndrome. So weird medical stuff here in that not everyone is given that Short Stature Diagnosis it's very confusing and it depends on the doctor and even what type of Dwarfism/condition you have—but my point is some people hate using medical terms to describe themselves so just putting that out there.

Personally I like dwarfism, I don't mind dwarf, and I like the usual descriptive terms for Short. I actually don't like Little Person for myself, I don't like when people call me that, and again it's a personal preference. Even when I talk about myself I say "Short", "Tiny", "itty-bitty", "itsy-bitsy", I call my hands "pudgy" and myself "Stubby", "ant-sized", "The size of a speck of dust", "pocket-sized", my friends call me "Fun-sized" and "pocket-friend"; and even one of my very close friends calls me an "Elf" on occasion when I wear this pair of green socks that fit me comically big. I'm Mexican too so people call me "la nanita", "Chiquita", "poquito", and such.

My argument here is really that there's a lot of normal everyday terms to describe someone, we're not just medical words and definitions.

@predatory-maniac asked all of this is my fault. ❜- Aaron

"Would you stop saying that Nate? How am I supposed to know if it's all your fault if I don't even know what you did or didn't do? I mean am I supposed to judge you just because your breathing or something because I don't do things like that and I usually like to give people the benefit of the doubt." Aaron looks at him and shakes his head with a cock to his eyebrow "Unless you want me to be your father confessor or something but let me tell you something, with all the things I do, I have no right to judge anybody."
