@anarkitty Actually, no. I meant people with extreme antisocial behavior who show no conscience, which is unrelated to political orientation or bigotry. I could have used an imprecise euphemism or long descriptive phrase, but that would only confuse things. My mission was to communicate a warning, not to fix language, ableism, or the field of psychology, and you gotta pick your battles. I am aware that that word has baggage, but sometimes it's fine to use a word to mean what everyone thinks it means.

@joshsusser I have picked my battles, and one of them is to stand for psychiatrized and incarcerated groups and not add to their stigma. Sorry
