While disability is sometimes a factor in socioeconomic marginalization,disabled people are not always socioeconomically marginalized, nor are all socioeconomically marginalized people disabled.Seeing that the variant term Socially handicapped was an earlier form of the heading suggests that this was a simple replacement ofthe concept of handicap with the concept of disability.
Disability usually means something physical or mental that affects how someone moves or experiences the world. But here, they’re lumping in people who are just pushed aside by society people who might be poor, marginalized, or disconnected from mainstream culture and labeling that as a kind of disability. That’s a big problem. It flips the blame onto the person, like they’re the issue, instead of asking what structures or barriers are doing the excluding in the first place.

Butthe relation between the “imitation” and the “original” is, I think, morecomplicated than that critique generally allows. Moreover, it gives us aclue to the way in which the relationship between primary identifica-tion—that is, the original meanings accorded to gender—and subse-quent gender experience might be reframed.
This is interesting as it makes us wonder, where such 'Imitations' originated from, were they due to the rebelling against societal norms, was it because society pushed us so far to find ourselves that we got confused and lost the 'original' sense of identify. Or is it that the idea we deem as original was itself a norm introduced to keep order in society.
