If they are unable to speak, “mute” is an outmoded word that carries baggage. It’s like saying “crippled.” There is nothing with saying someone is deaf and does not speak. ---

> [@CookingWithGas](#): > > If they are unable to speak, “mute” is an outmoded word that carries baggage. Well then what is the PC term for mute?
