This is a tough question, a surely publishing the paper is the objective. However, you woulda also be educating your reviewers by informing then about various types of language. As a first step, you may elect to email the editor that handled your paper and
explain that person first language is inconsistent with your philosophies and determine if it is a ' deal breaker'. This way, you'll get a sense of what the outcome might be if you didn't change it.

<div dir="ltr">Thanks for all of your replies. I have definitely read upon the subject extensively. I guess my question is should I fight it within a publication that is very traditional and I may not win, or should I change my paper to get published?</div>

Person first terminology is a consistent conversation in disability studies as well. Typically, scholars in that area would suggest that the language we use is dictated by our personal conceptions of what a 'disability' is. While there are many models that
explain disability, the medical and social models tend to be the ones most commonly discussed. Person first terminology is typically associated with the medical model, which asserts ( among other things) that having an impairment is inherently disabling. The
social model aligns better with disability first language, and suggests that while someone might have an impairment, it is society that disables that person. This is a fairly oversimplified explanation, and you can find many papers describing this ( I'm happy
to share is you would like). I suppose the main point, though, is that you can argue that the language you are using is consistent with your conception of what a disability is....and then provide citations that support your claim.

I hope this is helpful, have a wonderful day,<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div>First an introduction, I am Conchita Hernandez I am getting a doctorate from George Washington University in Special Education. I am really glad this group list was created to share with others in the field. My interest is blindness and marginalized populations.
Now my question: I am currently in the process of submitting an article to be published in a journal. One of the things they would like to see changed is to make sure my while paper is in person first language. While I understand how person-first language
has typically been used in research, I see the value in identity first language and how it can be empowering. I think as we move forward the idea that person first language is the only correct way to write scholarly writing will change. Have any of you ran
into this and what are your thoughts on the topic? To give an example person first language would say, "the woman who is blind", while "identity-first language would use, "the blind woman." Thanks and look forward to hearing from you. </div>
