Remember on Whoosh when Thelonius said he did not know what "ablism" was and
doubted whether it was a word? I don't think people would know the meaning,
so I think Kym's suggestion is a good one. Even my unabridged dictionary
doesn't contain the word. (Yet it does contain a dictionary definition for
"homophobia".)

... The word that is, not the ideology. :P

Kym has asked me to put in a dictionary reference that refers to
the word "ablism" was.
We may as well also include a dictionary reference to the word
"homophobia". (Otherwise, my article would appear to be pitched
at those who know what homophobia means but not what ablism
means)
