CF-er being rude?

Hey!! I have CF and I've heard people say "CF-er" since I was a little kid and I wanted to know if I'm the only one here who doesn't like it? I just feel like it's.. rude? Anyone else get that feeling lol?

It just sounds so much more polite to say "People with CF", in my opinion! If you have been saying this, maybe ask the person you've been calling this to see if they care. Just advice from a cystic kid!!

  1. Hi I can definitely understand why you would think this has a negative connotation to it. Thanks for sharing! Jill (Team Member)
