Answer:

"On Being a Cripple" by Nancy Mairs (1986)

The claim in Nancy's article or short story is, "I am a cripple."

Explanation:

Nancy's claim is the assertion about her physical condition. Nancy does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation.  Unfortunately, there is no way for the reader to verify Nancy's reason for describing herself as a "cripple."  Her claim remains subjective or a matter of the narrator's personal opinion.  Nancy can even claim that her physical condition is a divine blessing.

Many imprecise descriptions are coined by society to label some people.  Nancy feels that the truth or bluntness about a person's condition cannot lessen the pain nor denigrate the person. There are humorous meanings to be derived when described as a "cripple" without the use of meaningless metaphors.
