This. I choose not to use the word "lame," because I don't like the idea of "something like me is bad" coming out of my own mouth. But I see that as a personal thing about my own feelings and my own desire to keep out of a pattern of thinking/speaking that puts myself down (something I used to do a lot), not an issue of social justice. I honestly don't care if others use it, nor do I beat myself up if it slips out of my own mouth on rare occasions.

The R-word is different to me because people are actively campaigning to end its use (Rosa's Law, anyone?) and not being heard by the general public, because people assume that they must not mean it or are too "stupid" to be aware that anyone says it -- all of which is completely untrue, as shown by the position statements from SABE that I've been linking, my own experience working with and talking to self-advocates, etc. People are not being respected because other people are obsessed with being able to use a word. That's... kinda assholic, and I don't like it. So I say so.

But again, I do not and will not tell people they "can't" say that word. I'll tell them I don't like it and don't want to hear it around me, and hope they'll consider that it bothers people for a reason, and that's all.
