The word itself is meaningless and completely powerless unless you cede that authority unto the user you always need to conseder the sourse ... if there not shit ... then what they have to say isnt worth shit ether

I use it all the time to describe myself. I do a jokingly and to add levity to the situation so the people I’m talking to feel more because they are clearly not at that point I think people appreciate the fact I can laugh about my condition.

Which do you prefer? "You poor helpless pwd, your live must really suck?" Or "Get that hot crippled body into bed with me and rock my world?"

Yeah my girlfriend will say stuff like that, but I know it's out of love and desire, not derogatory.

Just my opinion, but we (all of society, not just disabled people) have become way too thin-skinned and easily offended by mere words. I've been called a cripple before, by people doing so jokingly and by a few meaning for it to be derogatory. Neither one offended me.

Hell, I bust all of the normies up when I call myself a crip out here in the wild wild west. I just wish I could get the walk down to go with it.

For me it’s a word that makes me cringe whenever I hear it, joking or not. That’s just me though. If a PWD uses it in a fun loving way I’m not going to tell them they shouldn’t because that’s not my place. In general though I don’t like the word and won’t use it.

It’s a word, like any other, it may be used positive ly,or negatively, it depends on the person, context, and intent of the use. I tend to use it in empowering ways, a “bad ass cripple” or “once you go crip, never go back”, typically with people I know well. Enough English class today. Ciao

I'm good with it, always have been. I also think it's worth noting that context is everything, thus, if someone used it maliciously I most assuredly would not like it. Sadly most ppl don't like the word regardless of context. Like c'mon... say you wanna bang my crippled ass like a snare drum! it's finnne! ugh! >< hahahaha
