My friend with a back injury says adaptive clothes should be INVISIBLE, but I think they should STAND OUT.

What do you think, should we design for secrecy or pride?

That "basic respect" thing Simon mentioned is everywhere, lol. We see it with stuff like what people eat or drive, always needing to have an opinion on other folks' lives.

Why not let the wearer choose how they want to look?

Exactly... it's wild how often people think they know better than the person actually living in their own body. I've had family push their ideas on me for years and it just wears you down, you know? Letting people choose for themselves is just basic respect.

Preach, it's their body and their choice, period.

Honestly, this whole debate reminds me of how people treat personal choices like public property. Whether it's tattoos, hairstyles, or how you dress your kids, someone always has to weigh in with their two cents. Adaptive clothing is just another layer of that, where folks who aren't even using it decide how it should look. Let the person wearing it call the shots, because at the end of the day, they're the ones dealing with the reality of it. We do this with so many things, assuming one size fits all when it clearly doesn't.
