Should calling a disabled person "disabled" be considered discrimination?

I am a Registered-Certified-Recognized Disabled PWD with congenital Disabilities and acquired Disabilities. Me being a PWD has resulted in me suffering life-long abuse (sexual, physical, verbal, psychological, emotional, social, bullying and teasing (peer abuse), unjustified legal harassment, etc) starting as a young child up to this present date from Non-PWDs (Outsiders) which has caused me life-long devastating emotional damage and life-long devastating psychological damage including Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD) and Psychogenic Amnesia also known as Functional Amnesia and Dissociative Amnesia. The abuse that I have received from Non-PWDs (Outsiders) caused me to be extremely afraid of ALL Non-PWDs (Outsiders) including family members while growing up and also led me to attempt bullycide (suicide) in my early twenties.

My only child is a Disabled PWD and has also suffered abuse from Non-PWDs (Outsiders). I have also experienced discrimination, oppression, prejudice, ostracism, patronization, dislike, hatred, contempt, and negative stereotyped attitudes/ideals, and various other negative things from Mainstream Society (Outsider) Society throughout my lifetime up to this present date. Non-PWDs (Outsiders) are unable to completely understand and completely unable relate 100% to PWDs for various reasons.

There are closed PWD groups that will NOT let Non-PWDs (Outsiders) to join closed PWD groups. I am a member of some closed PWD only groups. In a book titled "The Ragged Edge: The Disability Experience From The Pages Of The First Fifteen Years Of The Disability Rag" which is edited by Barrett Shaw, one of the contributors who is profoundly Disabled that contributed to the book mentions the fact that various people that have completely unapparent Disabilities do complain about being "shut out" of the Disability Community and that sometimes the PWD Community has to "shut out" the Non-Disabled (Outsiders) for the need of "Community", "Identity", and "Privacy".

Having a closed PWD group also help prevent possible oppression from Non-PWDs (Outsiders). A web article that I found mentions closed PWD groups. http://gos.sbc.edu/b/dbrown.html The web article mentions the reason for a closed PWD group is the need for "Safety" that comes through other PWDs being able to relate and to understand due to reason of being through the same experience due to having a Disability.

There are various things about our Disabilities that I do NOT feel comfortable in sharing with Non-PWDs (Outsiders). There are various things about my Disability Experiences that I do NOT feel comfortable in sharing with Non-PWDs (Outsiders). These are some of the reasons why I fully endorse and fully support the ideal of a closed PWD only group.

These are some of the reasons why I will ALWAYS have a Separatist attitude, and why I will ALWAYS have a "Us vs Them" attitude, and why I will ALWAYS see ALL Non-PWDs as Outsiders. There is a certain percentage of PWDs that do call Non-PWDs the label of "Outsider(s)" for various reasons. I do know that there is also a certain percentage of Deaf persons that do call Non-PWDs the label of "Outsider(s)" for various reasons.

I do know that there is a community of PWDs in Louisiana that do call Non-PWDs the label of "Outsider(s)" for various reasons. There are between 1 and 3 more other PWDs in this section that has called Non-PWDs the label of "Outsider(s). Final note: The asker of this question is telling the truth by stating that me and the poster of this question are two different individuals because Yahoo will discover that me (PWD King) and the poster (Shyperson) of this question will have two completely different ISP address numbers.

I agree that the structure, capitalisation and punctuation of this question is a little too reminiscent of a certain king for me to not think this is either a huge coincidence, or that it is that particular king who is asking this question, However on the face of the question, I also agree with Teddy/Chiliswoman - just because someone does not have a disability does not mean they are an outsider. I just as much have to put up with the crap you deal with when you have a disability as my partner does. I sit there and get frustrated for him when he has a new carer who is supposed to help him and actually hinders.. and I have to get up every 2 seconds to rescue him or to show the carer how to do something so basic.

When his carer fills up a cup with boiling water and tries to give it to him rather than using the boiling water just to fill up 1/4 of the cup to take the edge off the cold water.. when they throw the commode chair into the wall in the bathroom and break the tiles.. when they are heavy handed with his glasses putting them down... when they don't wash the dishes properly and give him food poisoning.. and need I continue? I find it offensive that this person continues to label me as an outsider as I don't have an official disability (or does high functioning adult autism count?).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
