temporarily able-bodied (TAB)
this term is probably better avoided. Although it was meant to be a reminder that we are all able-bodied only until we are not, and that therefore providing access and avoiding discrimination will eventually be useful to us all, it is not, strictly speaking, true: not everyone becomes disabled in some way. Some disability activists feel it is more threatening than community-building. It is also problematic in that one group (those with disabilities) has labeled another group, which does not self-identify this way.
