Getting people to reconsider this is gonna require getting people to deconstruct intellectual ableism in general, which is a much harder task than just making lists of no-no words. The latter isn't convincing to most; people need to understand *why*. Gotta get people to question why comparisons to disabled people are considered so insulting in the first place. Similar to making people realize that so many insults towards men are actually insults to women (eg son of a bitch).
