uncensor the word disabled, it is not an offensive or dirty word, we should be allowed to identify with being disabled
I was shocked to learn today that twitch won't allow the word 'disabled' in twitch titles. As someone who has been told not to call myself disabled and made to feel ashamed about being disabled, this has absolutely disgusted me. If we can use the word disabled in tags, why can't we use it in titles? I was trying to use the word disabled to let my viewers know that my disability was bad that day, which is important to me so that viewers know not to push when my disability is worse/so they understand why my behaviour is the way it is. I cannot think of a reason to censor the word disabled, and it only seems to be deemed as inappropriate in certain contexts? I had to reword my title to get the word disabled uncensored.
