Why does Amazon think it is acceptable to sell merchandise that includes hate slurs and constructs people with #dwarfism as a novelty? Would any other #disability or #racial slur be acceptable?

This is why I dislike #DwarfismAwareness month. T shirts with cringe inducing slogans will not change attitudes.

Reading the (so far) great 'Who wants normal?' by @francesryan.bsky.social and disappointed to see the m word used with explanation to how offensive it is with the #dwarfism community. Would any other #disablist slur be OK to use without explanation?

Onli e Book launch, #Dwarfism Arts and Advocacy. June 19th. @emeraldpublishing.bsky.social @hellolittlelady.bsky.social @sjdresearch.bsky.social @sfdirewolf.bsky.social

So many fragile men on FB who seem to take offence at my work that challenges #disablism against people with #dwarfism. No, I don't do #pantomine

Please to receive my copy of #SnowWhite by #Fairytales retold, who invited me to consult on representations of #dwarfism

Success! After campainging and sharing my academic work, another company drops the offensive word midget. @greenekingsport.bsky.social

Actually...

The downside of research based #DisabilityActivism. The reason I campaigned to have The #Midget pub renamed was due to it being a form of #HateSpeech. Their use of hate speech is ironic and aids in proving my point.

Out now, my edited book #Dwarfism Arts and Advocavy. Great chapter from @hellolittlelady.bsky.social
