Yes, it's the stereotype problem: there's this quote from Chimamanda Adiche:
"The problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue; it is that they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story."
I have another quote today about the false dichotomy of illness vs. identity, or in this case, medical vs. social models, but I have to think on that a little more and will post later! :D
