Steven Hawking is considered
the antithesis of a 'strictlycrip.'
Portmanteau of strictly and cripple.
1. A strictlycrip refers to a person with a disability who does not wish to cultivate personal abilities. Conceptually, a strictlycrip forgoes cultivation of potential abilities and constructs a sense of self and behavior by strict identification with disability.
2. Antithesis: Differentiated from, and contrasted with supercrip; ie. an individual who constructs his identity and behavior on the basis of possessing both disabilities and abilities.
[Synonyms: rigorously; stringently; only; precisely; compartmentalized; limited to + cripple]
Earliest appearance:
"A study of high achievers illustrates the point of competency existing alongside disability. Franklin D. Roosevelt had post-polio paralysis, Ray Charles was blind, Christopher Reeve had a spinal injury, George Washington had dyslexia, Ludwig van Beethoven went deaf, Albert Einstein had Aspergers, Leonardo Da Vinci was epileptic, and the cosmologist Stephen Hawking has advanced motor neurone disease. Yet all of these men reached the top of their fields of interest. Admiration of such men is today frowned upon by social justice warriors (SJWs) who believe the achievements misrepresent the common man with a disability and lead him to feel inferior by comparison. Referred to disparagingly as “supercrips” (super cripples), SJWs disparage high achievers as tall poppies who disrupt the level playing field, traitors promoting ableism instead of accepting their lot as “strictlycrips” without talent or ability."
