Flexible or Fragile?

Chaughn submitted:

I have a fairly rare condition called hypermobility. The ligaments in my joints are loose, which means that those joints are unusually flexible and prone to popping out of their sockets. I can do most of the “fighting” positions you post on this blog. But I can’t jog, lift heavy objects, or stretch too much without risking a painful injury. If that’s how these artists imagine their heroines— helpless and fragile— then there needs to be some turnover in the industry.

I don’t think there’s anything I can add to this.
