“ Pamela Anderson has more prosthetic in her body and no one calls her disabled.
Athlete, actor and activist Aimee Mullins talks about her prosthetic legs — she’s got a dozen amazing pairs — and the superpowers they grant her: speed, beauty, an extra 6 inches of height … Quite simply, she redefines what the body can be. She’s known as a Paralymic record holder in the 100-meter dash and the long jump. In 1999, she was a model on Alexander McQueen’s fashion show in London.
You can watch her presentation “How my legs give me super-powers” she gave at TED 2009 right here:
