Reading this article, it is clear that there can be specific individual slurs, but many of the offenses are subtle and not considered universally offensive. For instance, 'burn victim' is not considered offensive by all.

Can we agree to perhaps flag the most offensive, recognizable slurs and shelve the rest of the issues related to Ableism?
