Today we are discussing a popular topic; is it more appropriate to say disabled person or person with a disability (PWD)? Well, it all depends on how an individual identifies, there are strong feelings about each. This particular discussion is about identityfirst versus personfirst language, abbreviated, you might see people refer to it as IFL vs PFL. As far as disability identity, I identify as a disabled, wheelchair user, with EhlersDanlos Syndrome. What language honors you?

**ABOUT ME**
Hello, hello! My name is Annie, my pronouns are she/her, and I'm a QWoC, body positive, wheelchair user, disabled and chronically ill person (or "spoonie").

I create videos five days a week (as long as my health allows) usually introspective topics, social topics, sharing my experiences and point of view with/on disability, body image, sex/gender/dating, gender equality, etc, as well as a variety of music/artistic media, tags/challenges, and dayinthelife vlogs.
