“There’s a model of understanding the disabled community uses that I think can also be applied to other situations, including this one. It’s called the Social Model of Disability, and it states that it is not a person’s condition that disables them, but rather society through inaccessibility and stigma. So it is not PCOS that makes someone less of a woman, it’s society’s definition of ‘woman’ that might make someone feel that way.”
