Prologue

Stephen Hawking must be pissed off about that.  And Byron would have been knocked on the head for his club foot, I suppose.  Abe Lincoln had Marfans syndrome, so his weird fingers and toes might have made him a target.  And is it just the visible disabilities?  Because the list of people with psychological disorders who've made a dent in history is just about endless.  Even myopia is supposedly a disability -- so I'm fucked.  There's a lot of focus on "negative body image" because dieting is a trendy thing to talk about -- and big money -- but there's a lot less discussion about why it's just dumb to talk about "curing" things instead of accepting them as contributions to diversity.
