There’s a really large contingent of congenitally disabled people that get up in arms about not needing to be “fixed.” They’ll start babbling on about “medical vs social models,” which has some admittedly good points in there, and then they bump into a lamppost.
Nobody is going to force them to be “fixed” but a nontrivial number of disabled people want to rid themselves of their disability if possible.
It’s why we have prosthetic legs, and cochlear implants. Not everyone gets them, but they’re an option if you want them. Unless you’re poor and live in the USA, then you don’t have the option. Gg USA.
