From an identity standpoint, what does it mean to have a disability? Pamela Anderson has more prosthetic in her body than I do. Nobody calls her disabled.

Mullins is challenging the idea that “disability” is a fixed identity determined purely by bodily difference. By contrasting her prosthetic legs—typically read as markers of disability—with cosmetic or elective “prosthetics” associated with celebrity culture, she exposes how social perception and stigma help create the category of disability. The line suggests that what counts as “disabled” often depends on norms about beauty, desirability, and productivity rather than on the mere presence of artificial augmentation. It also points to the politics of labeling: the same technological modification can be framed as enhancement or as impairment depending on who has it and how society chooses to interpret it.
