I’d want to check with the blind community on Twitter and other social media first, but “blindered” might work as it’s actually something put on one that blocks one’s vision. Or “plant impervious”.

There is a well-known botany podcast that uses the phrase “plant blindness” in every single episode. And others echo it or have taken it on board. It’s time to come up with less ableist language as it’s an important phenomenon to describe, but not at the expense of blind people.

The more I think about it, the more I think “plant imperviousness” might work, although it seems less snappy because of how often that ableist metaphor is used in English language poetry, prose, songs, etc.

Thank you for pointing this out, Megan! I always learn a lot from your tweets about disability and ableism, and I hadn’t considered this before.
@41un and I will be looking into alternative phrases as well. It’s a really important topic!Hvala. Twitter će to iskoristiti za poboljšanje vaše vremenske crte. PoništiPoništi
