Popularity does not mean those people are educated on importance of what they have expressed their popularity of. Most cases there are factors such as amount of time they used what expressed their popularity of.
If a person who has gotten in the media, that use, because the person “does” things for people with Challenges, but only uses a word, then that person has only given them the ability to exist under the so called “normal” (we all have some degree of Challenges) people. That term with a prefix that communicates without/negative, that communicates instantly that their lack of the ability, instead of using a word that instantly communicates that whatever their degree of anility is they can work to find their own way over overcoming it & performing as good as “normal” (we all have some degree of Challenges) people ways of doing things! That term takes away from the people, the Challenge(s) still points out the challenge is, but adds to the people!
That is what people here seem not to understand that using Challenge(s) is about empowerment & the other term is about decreasing one’s belief in oneself!

You have no idea who are talking to.

I did it because I respect & love people with Challenges & understand how empowerment & disempowerment works, had both on me, during my life! I think I put that in my profile,
