Hell, anything, really. See me and my Complicated Disagreement with large chunks of the disability activism community on the right to end your life on your terms, even if this eventually requires external assistance. ("Complicated" here being an important part of that descriptor: I agree with many, many of their concerns! I EMPHATICALLY DISAGREE with their flat decision that as a result This Is Inherently Ablist And If You're For It You're Terrible. It's complicated.)]
It doesn't mean I think the short descriptors are totally useless? Just that like most philosophical terms (cuz that's what they are) they do need to be defined before the conversation can proceed, in a lot of cases.
