Compulsory Able-Bodiedness and Able-Mindedness was coined by Allison Kafer and Robert McRuer to serve as a related concept to compulsory heterosexuality, coined by Adrienne Rich. Compulsory Able-Bodiedness and Able-Mindedness is the idea that societal rhetoric and expectations, rooted in ableism, classify able-bodied and able-minded individuals as "normal". This classification leads to society enforcing adhering to normal body functions on people, and to disabled people feeling obligated to expend energy and stretch their capabilities so they can be perceived as more "normal."
