Re: Priviledge can be confusing

For your first question, I think it could mean that the person speaking is able-bodied (to use your example) and is trying to warn people that they may accidentally say something that shows their privilege in that regard. But I think I've seen warnings like that when someone posts a link or quote from something that comes across as very privileged.

People warn for any number of things. Some people, I think, go a little over-the-top about trying to warn for everything. It's really not possible to warn for everything that might bother someone. Also, personally, though I like knowing ahead of time if I'm going to read something upsetting, excessive warnings can make me feel a bit coddled. If you're wondering about what sort of stuff to warn for online, I think the most important thing is to give people some context so they're not completely taken unaware. It can be a good idea to include a warning if you're posting something about violence, sexual assault, suicide/self harm, and similar topics. Other than that, all you can do is use your best judgment and consider the context. If you know that your audience would appreciate a warning for a particular thing, then it might be good to include it.

Same goes for trying not to offend people. It just comes down to being sensitive to people's feelings and the meanings words have, which doesn't mean you have to please everyone at every time, or anticipate all potential issues. It's not all or nothing.
