Can you imagine walking up to a stranger in a wheel chair and saying something like; “Hey cripple, your legs don’t work?”
Is cripple a slur? Not really (imo) but you dehumanise someone with words and reduce them to only be their affliction. Eliminating everything about them that might be special and individual.
You’re not going to get better unless you practice!
(Maybe note in the report that you are unsure how to write a good report and are available to help clarify)
