Yo this shit is exciting

You tried to substantiate your claim that the question whether or not something is a disability depends on (social) context with mentioning that the "flaw" that Michael Phelps has supposedly aided him in being a better swimmer.

No I didn't. You've got it all backwards. I didn't say being double jointed is a flaw, I said being single jointed is a flaw. You didn't understand the hypothetical. You're so used to hearing people say deviations are disabilities, your brain filtered it out when I proposed that being normal is a disability. That's why I think you're worse than me at understanding hypotheticals. But the conclusion that being normal is a disability is precisely what your definition leads to. Which is why I think you don't agree with your own definition.

No, I mean the question where I asked if you changed your mind because you directly contradicted yourself

Also the reason you're dumber than me is that you think I think being double jointed is a disability and you think I think I'm not disabled. You don't understand what I'm talking about at all.

You're not even pretending to have a conversation anymore, are you?

I disagree. Michael Phelps is double jointed. He's the best swimmer in the world because he has a mutation that makes his feet more effective flippers. You said a flaw is still a disability even when everyone has it. Nearly everyone is single jointed, and that makes us worse at swimming than Phelps. Your argument would imply that single jointed people are all disabled.

You can't define disability in absolute terms, or you'll run into problems like that. You have to define disability in socially constructed terms.

Brain sex exists, but it's not gender. And just like body sex, it's multidimensional and comes in intersex flavour. And it's neuroplastic, to a certain extent.

One of the sexually multimorphic aspects of the brain is the emotional response to sex hormones. It's why many trans girls can't cry or can't experience love until they're on estrogen. It's why phantom limb sensations exist. As far as I know, chemical reactions can't be changed, but body maps can. The brain is also responsible for regulating hormone balance, and skilled meditationists can access parts of their brain normally closed to the consciousness and adjust their hormones. I'm speaking from experience when I say that, and my endocrinologist can confirm my story. So you might also consider the brain's instructions to the body on what sex to be, a part of the brain's sex. Like I said, it's multidimensional. A brain can have multiple sexes, just like a body.

Autism is a disability mostly for social reasons, not for intrinsic reasons. I guess you could say that I do want a cure, if the cure is society becoming more tolerant. But I don't want a cure that changes my intrinsic nature, because there's nothing intrinsically wrong with being autistic.

This is the plot of a kung fu movie

I'm disabled and I wouldn't. I don't think I'd be me if I wasn't autistic.

Islam is a religion derived from and influenced by Christianity

If magic exists to eliminate all disabilities, then there should be no smart, rich people with disabilities in your world

I disagree. I know plenty of smart people with disabilities who wouldn't take a cure if it was possible. Most of them are autistic. Autism is a disability in a world that doesn't accommodate it, but it doesn't have to be. It's a disability politically, not intrinsically. And deafness is pretty undeniably a disability, but I've read about deaf people not wanting to join in on hearing society because they think the deaf community is better.

This might sound hard for you to understand if you're fully abled, so I'll put it in terms you can understand. Imagine if tomorrow scientists invented a cheap, painless procedure to install a third arm in your chest. Everyone's getting them because they're so useful, and clothing stores are quickly switching to shirts with three arm holes. It's getting hard to find shirts with only two arm holes, in fact. Even if everyone you knew said they preferred having three arms, would you get one?
