Dating a blind girl

All of her friends are blind

Love that she holds my arm when we're out

Love that she eventually got used to my apartment and can now navigate around by herself

Love that her guide dog is super friendly and is always on the job to help her.

Love that her family sees me as a great person because her being blind doesn't bother me

Love that she doesn't use the internet because it's too much hassle

Love that she requests I read new books for her in my voice and record them so she has her own boyfriend audiobook library.

You can check the modlog. The reason given is "automod," which seems quite bizarre to me, especially given that there are no objectionable keywords in the comment, and that it was removed 2 hours after it was made.

"Blind" is ableist language, the preferred term is unsighted

If you use it as a noun to describe such a person, sure, but as an adjective it's perfectly acceptable and much more natural.

I hoped as much.
