Just say "retard" if you're gonna say it. Lazily censoring it seems worse, because implications.

Right? I'm tired of the euphemism treadmill telling me what I can and can't say. Especially if we are coming up with childish phrases like "unalived"
I used to call myself a

Fuck them, I'm the one on the fucking cane, I call myself what the fuck I want, and I will gladly fight about it.

This has always felt very doublespeak-y to me. Sort of like a control mechanism.
I don’t know anyone “unhoused” who has ever been offended at the word “homeless”. It just seems silly to me.

I have a decent amount of patients that label could apply to and I don't like seeing it used at all. Literally just a few weeks ago I was consoling a patient who was angrily crying because they perceived someone had used it to refer to them. I'm unsure if it was reality based; they do hallucinate and I didn't personally witness it but its far from impossible and they were absolutely distraught. Using it pejoratively AND censoring it means you knew it was fucked up and did it anyway.
