I'm sorry if it offends you if people challenge that form of words.
Well yes it does offend me, as I am all for free speech as long as it is in a none aggressive manner,in this case, it is your mind that finds it offensive, not mine. and as for you being born with your" circumstance" I had to think of what to say then so you didnt take offence at various other terms, ie., affliction, condition, disability,
FFS, will someone write a dictionary of none aggressive terms that CAN be used so we are all on the same page. Then someone else can write another dictionary to contradict that one..

I dont want to open a can of worms but the very word "disability" upsets some, "ugly" upsets some "fat" upsets some, "black" upsets some, "cunt" upsets some, "scouse" upsets some,"prossie" upsets some, I could go on and on.
Its not the words but the context in which they are said that should be the real focus.
Do I feel sorry for you..NO why should I, because I assume you dont want me too!, its just words...get a grip man.
