Catalan term or phrase: "el dret de la diferència"
Here is the original:

"Les persones discapacitades tenen ***el dret de la diferència*** i de la no discriminació pel fet de ser-ho" - Is there an existing term for this other than the rather ambiguous sounding "right to be different"? Hey, I'm different too! :-)

This will have to do. Like a lot of PC terms, it seems to create more problems than it solves and is not concise enough for my taste.
