Why not include the disabled into the mass objectification that is already taking place globally? What's wrong with finding leg braces sexy? Or preferring the wandering touch of the blind? They are intelligent, mature and fully capable to consent...unlike children and those mentally impaired.

I do not find it frigid at all, actually. What it is is sexualizing a physical attribute, which I find to be inappropriate and rude, as I said. That is simply my opinion, as you had asked for.
Mentally disabled people can give consent. A best friend of mine is technically mentally disabled, and trust me, he's fully able to give consent, and he has a sex drive that's just as active as other individuals'. And it is rude how you said that people who are not children or mentally disabled are "intelligent, mature, and fully capable." Alright, so adolescents and people that are mentally disabled are not intelligent, mature, and fully capable? That is not really a correct statement, and you should think more on that.
Now, as I said, I do not find a problem with finding a person, as the person is, sexy or attractive. Nothing wrong with that at all! By all means, be an accepting individual who is attracted to someone even with their disabilities or flaws! But to sexualize them simply based off of those things? No, I do not find that to be right. Also, looking at the flaws or disabilities in a positive light is just fine, I do not find anything wrong with that. But again, if it's sexualized for that purpose, it's not right.
Is that making sense to you? I am not sure how else to explain what I am feeling on this subject.
