Is it okay to use the r-word?


I am a disability ally, and a question that has been bugging me is: is it okay to use the r-word? I know already that it's used as an ableist slur, yet at the same time people use it as a medical term. People say that it should be banned from dictionaries, but I don't quite believe so. I think that it should only be used as a term and not an insult because: context matters. If you are disabled or know a lot about medical terms, please let me know your thoughts on this. Reminder I am not trying to be ableist or anything. Just asking.

it's been hard having to keep up with everything while also dealing with the pain and fear of becoming hated and belittled again. all i want is to just be worthy and normal and stop being a sensitive shit. and even tgat is somehow hard. i'm sorry.
