    What in the world are you talking about? This isn’t “shower thoughts: questions edition”. Please provide some much-needed context, or really, anything beyond an absurdly vague and ill-defined question.

    Are you talking about the words themselves and how we use them, or the idea that, for example, being born (or rendered) unable to move one’s legs is somehow a socially constructed limitation?

      Yeah, I agree, I mean, being super specific everything is a social construct since it is built upon language and memetics, but there’s a difference with something like race (which has no scientific validity to argument its existence, but nonetheless has a consequence in real life) than with this, which has material repercussions.
