To be fair, most of the [physically] handicapped people I know refer to
themselves as "gimps." In fact, the e-mail handle of one of them is "Gimpy."
Is this one of those cases where it's okay for the people to call themselves
a term which nobody else can use? (cf. contemporary "acceptable" usage of
"nigga")
