Hello Jean-Marc and other Tipsters,
The primary issue that people with this classification have is that the terminology has excluded them from opportunities available to all other people who are not labelled. Their challenge is to convince the societies and communities around them to include them, to allow them to belong and participate to the best of their abilities and interests. They want to be known as people first and included in discussions and policy-making concerning their lives without discrimination, marginalization and social exclusion.
The problem is still that it's not the terminology that's
excluded them -- it's the actions of people.
It is not at all clear that the terminology has any causal
relationship to these actions.
If not, fighting a terminology fight is counterproductive.
