Including disabled people in our utopian futures pushes back against a eugenicist ideal.
I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

Friendly reminder to please please PLEASE tell streamers if there are easily fixable issues with their stream like game audio being too loud/quiet, wrong category/title, error text in our overlays, mic is muted, etc.! We don't take it as an insult, and it saves us problems and embarrassment!

There's a transmasculine version of this. If someone assigned female can become a man, it means there's nothing so special or powerful about men.
Each of us has the biological truth of equality between the sexes within us, as demonstrated by the ability of some to pass from one to the other.

To help your search, I did a deep dive into the alternatives and I still think Stoat is looking like the best option by a lot. caviar.0xpossum.dev/stoat_though...
The rest are all pretty bad. Keep in mind that we're both on BlueSky which has a ton of LLM-generated code.

A reminder: this is an Irishman with valid papers speaking about how he's being held in US concentration camps. If you don't have to go to the US, do not go to the US. "GDC" is not "have to go". One denial at the border is going to mark you for life, and that's the best of the bad outcomes.
"A modern-day concentration camp ... People have been killed by the staff here." Irish citizen Seamus Culleton has been in ICE detention since September, despite having a valid work permit and his own business in the US.
