That's a good point Errol. The EA2010, which hoovered up the original Disability Discrimination Act, has clear criteria for what disability is for purposes of legal protection or for service providers to judge whether or not someone may come under that protection. 'Identify' has become a tactful way to say would you like to disclose that you are disabled, but like much of the bastardisation of language in the SJ agenda the meaning gets adapted and repurposed.



The EA also requires reasonable adjustments to be made for disabled people, with the meaningful word being 'reasonable', the necessity to balance all needs within the context of size of organisation and resources, and where possible to find adaptations and third ways that work for everybody, or to be able to demonstrate that this particular place/organisation is not able to meet the person's needs and something else should be provided. It would be very useful if the GRA worked in the same way.
