@kaia it's not a mild insult, it's a serious ableistic slur. it's seriously offensive and derogatory. if you can't see how that's an issue that's your thing, but please think about it for a minute before you do. you probably don't like reading the t-slur either even though it's not a clinical term.

"downie" is another similar term by the way... it's dehumanizing and awful language.
