You know that someone can act like something without being that thing right? You can say someone is narcissistic without them being an actual narcissist.

Like me saying that you’re stupid shouldn’t imply that you’ve had a traumatic brain injury or were born without a frontal lobe.

That’s a false equivalence. “Stupid” isn’t the same as any of the words in the diagnosis “mental retardation” (recently updated to intellectual disability). Your example would work better if you did it like this:

Like me saying that you’re retarded shouldn’t imply that you have mental retardation.

There, that’s a much closer analogy. Do you still stand by your point if we use a proper equivalence?
