A solid "shut up" usually works for me. Especially if we're in a group setting and the person is trying to be funny. Also, if it's someone that I can say it to without getting my ass beat...

I have two approaches: A) ask people in front of others why they hate disabled people. Public shaming is a very powerful tool. B) make joking comments like: did I stutter? It makes it more normali...
