 * While able-normativity casts those with disabilities as without a future and queer subjects as unreproductive obstacles to heteronormative futures, the space for agency that neoliberal discourses allow for the transgender child, namely those who aspire to transnormative recognition, exceeds that of the disabled child, especially the child for whom a curative future is nor imagined or possible.

 * Regardless of one's disability status, stakeholders and protagonists of the publicized story of the retinal implantation surgeries in Russia reproduced the “the value system of ablenormativity which privileges the supposedly neurotypical and ablebodied” (Lydia X.
