Thereโs an important difference and distinction between the objective medical fact of my being an amputee and the subjective societal opinion of whether or not Iโm disabled. Truthfully, the only real and consistent disability Iโve had to confront is the world ever thinking that I could be described by those definitions.
Aimee MullinsHalf of Hollywood has more prosthetic in their body than I do, but we don't think of them as disabled. You amputate part of a nose, that's 'enhancement'. You put a prosthetic in a breast cavity, that's 'augmentation'. But you amputate part of a limb and put a prosthetic there, it's 'disability'?
