Well, I can't remember the last time I needed to specify someone had dwarfism. I know a few people that have dwarfism, but I can't even imagine a reason why I'd need to mention that. It's never really been a salient attribute.

Has anyone suggested that you do an AMA?

I think there's a lot of genuine interest in people with dwarfism and most are afraid to broach such a sensitive subject.

If you are comfortable doing it I think people could learn a lot.

Well, none of my close friends have it, so it's possible it's just something that simply hasn't come up.

... I probably need to go find a site or app to keep me up to date with acceptable nomenclature.

Tumblr. This site has everything you need to understand proper terms and nomenclatures.

Except for when it gets really crazy. Just have to not listen to the people who are clearly far up their own arses.

No firsthand experience here but one of my friends did get a big opening of her worldview from there.

You're joking, right? It's just a bunch of middle class white girls inventing problems and disorders and seeing who can collect the most special snowflake points.

Yes. I was joking. I identify as a Joker.

Yet another person who has never had a Tumblr account, yet seems to know exactly what it is. It's a blogging site, dude. Like Wordpress? You have a blog, and you share posts from other blogs or make your own. A lot of it is dedicated to book, movie or TV show fandoms, others to writing, science or arts, some to social justice, etc. It's varied, just like the world is. Many celebs use it. Yes, many teenagers do have Tumblr blogs - perhaps because they feel safer there and more able to express their views than on a site like Reddit because of people like you.

Also if your next comment is going to include any version of "fee fees" don't bother.

To be fair if you're describing Jim the dwarf using his name and the other person doesn't know who you mean, that's an attribute that will narrow it down pretty quick.

People of Walmart is 'people-first', but it's pretty derogatory.
