That's why BB has put him on the Show, just to be blunt about it.

I hope not. I know we've seen these traits in the past but I would like to think people can see past physical disabilities and into the person instead. I know it doesn't really happen in society that much. It's not even a disability for him from what I've seen. He manages his day to day tasks really well. Being born without a left hand and foot has shown it isn't a problem for him and he hasn't needed to adapt as that's the way he's always been. Maybe I just see things differently? I know they like a diverse mix of HM's but I would be horrified to know they picked me just because I had different physical attributes to the "norm".

I'm struggling to think of anything else though. Like it's the token person with "disabilities". The trans person. The neurodivergent. The extrovert. The introvert. I guess things haven't changed that much when I think about it.
