IMHO, it works better as an allegory for disability. Some people (higher-functioning autists) need acceptance, but I don't think people with debilitating pain or immuno-defficiancy see their struggles as an inseparable part of their personality.

Again, rogue is a bit outside of this allegory. Yes, I am happy XMen has that origin. And it needs to be kept up. It can be subtle or it can be in your face, but if it isnt about accepting others, different or not from you, and working together for the better, then its not XMen.

But Rogue wanting to suppress or whatever her mutant powers in order to experince human contact without harm... It has some parrelles maybe.

What they're saying is there's a cure to being gay or black. Think about that and think about storms response.

Then what should one think about when reading this?:
