It is more important that Frida understood the fact that she could have more than one identity- not that she chose one and limited herself as most women of the culture during that time were being forced/taught to do
Important to note that she doe not identify her specific sexual orientation
Does this portrayal strengthen or debunk stereotypes- does this empower or inhibit “latinas”

Compare how items from the femininity list will not match with the disability list. Also discuss how Frida breaks through both boundaries, but is very far from what we consider disabled. Despite her lack of “beauty”, we can relate her back to the feminine, much easier than that of disability.
