And I've already found the way it analyzed ways of thinking about abledness and disability super enlightening.

I expect it challenges the binary of 'able' & 'disabled?'

Yes. And it tries to change the focus of questions of the abled looking at the disabled towards asking questions about abledness

What kind of questions? Are we talking about anatomy & physiology or attitude towards disability.

If "normal" or "abled" is understood as a social construct, you can ask what effects it has. E.g. pressure to present as abled.

Its not a social construct tho. Disability is real & limiting. Cultural pressures around pressure to present as abled still matter tho.

How do you know that it's not a social construct? What is that view based on? (It's not equivalent with saying it's "not real")

I said there can be cultural constructs around ability but able-bodiedness is not one. We know how bodies are meant to work.

I don't think I can agree with the statement in that form. Society accommodates certain bodies, but not others. (See Autism)

Do you strictly separate between mind and body?

No. I am not a dualist. Mind is a product of brain. I don't believe in a soul or anything.
