Aphasia Awareness 2022 June 3

Pronouns give people problems with aphasia. It is one of many of my frustrations.

When I talk with my granddaughter, I don’t even think before I usually say “he” did that. My son and my wife immediately say “she.” I get upset because I don’t even think about it.

Today, I talked with a friend, and she mentioned why her friend is “he.” I reminded her it was something I have an issue with aphasia.

I am not sure what happens. It just says automatically. 

I use Grammarly to figure out when I screw up writing.

Yesterday, “The Muse” drove me crazy. It says, “Are you using gender-inclusive language at work?” The good news is that I don’t have to work again.

“It’s important not to misgender the people who work with you.”

I told them I have aphasia, and I needed to have a handicap to use to sue me.
